Unhandled exception has occured after install it won't open?

Post by jase888 » Tue Sep 17, 2013 12:05 pm

Just installed Ranorex 4.0.2 but it comes up stating "unhandled exception has occured" and won't open, it ask to send the report error to Ranorex or exit.

Below is the error report it comes with but I can't make much sense of why its not opening, any ideas?

Thanks

It seems like an installation issue, i.e. some required files are missing.

Please, make sure that no Ranorex processes are running, then uninstall Ranorex.
Then reboot the machine and install Ranorex again using the "Ranorex-4.0.X.exe" executable.

BTW, the last service release for 4.0 is 4.0.6.

Thanks, I found out what the issue was. The computer didn't have any version of Microsoft C++ installed on it, since installing that it seems to be working fine.
