exe file not run properly : General Questions

[Ruser]

The testing runs without any problem in Ranorex Studio. I build the project into release and run the exe file on another server with runtime license only. The exe file can't run properly, the command windows showing for a while then disappear.

Anyone has the same probem? What might be the cause? Thanks.

Hi, I had the same problem, the exe just doesn't run and gives no reason why.

I solved this by installing the same version on both machines. I had a newer version for the development than I had for the testing machine.

Maybe this is the same in your case?

Ranorex:
It would be nice if the runtime could say something about why it will not run...

Hi,

As grahamwbell said, please check if you have the same version of Ranorex on your runtime machine. The version of the runtime machine shouldn't be lower than the development machine.
As you know Ranorex executable is normally a console application and you have the possibility to run each console application via the command line of windows. If you start the application by the command line of windows, I'm pretty sure you get an error message with more details. The error message should be also available in the generated report of the executable.

Thank you both. Run time version was the problem. It is working now.
