Hi,

What version of Ranorex do you use? C# 6 and 7 is supported from Ranorex 9.0 (and higher). You are out of luck with anything older.

Hi,

In this case, there must be something missing on your machine? Are you sure there are installed most recent VS build tools, as suggested in this post?
https://ranorex.com/forum/how-to-update ... tml#p54477
I would also try to install .net SDK.
And finally, I would recommend to install most recent Ranorex version. You may never know? ;) Ranorex 9.1 is already obsolete and no longer supported.

BTW, according below post, VS 2019 build tools does not have MSBuild at expected location...

So you may need to install older version of MS build tools (try VS 2015 build tools).

That's brilliant. It worked. Thank you.
