Unable to find DLL RanorexCore.dll : Automation API

[John Daughety]

I just downloaded version 1.1.0, and am using VS2005 and C# project. I added a reference to RanorexNet.dll, in its default location on the C drive, but when I run my simple test app that calls Application.FindFormTitle() I get the exception in the title, which appears to be thrown when Ranorex is getting the sleep time. After adding a reference I also added the "using Ranorex" instruction at the beginning of my class file.

I tried adding RanorexCore.dll as a reference to my project but got an error that it could not be added - make sure it is accessible, a valid assembly or COM component. Can anyone help with this configuration issue? Thanks very much.

RanorexCore is a native C++ library, unmanaged code so you cannot reference it. It should be in the same directory as RanorexNet.

Or you can copy the RanorexCore.dll into the Windows\System32 directory.

I've the same problem:

Code: Select all

A reference to  ..\RanorexCore.dll could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accesible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.

I already have copied the .dll to Windows\System32 and i couldn't make the reference to my project.

Thank's for your support.

Once again:
You can't add a reference to the RanorexCore.dll in a .NET project as the RanorexCore.dll is a native (not .NET) DLL.

However, you can add the RanorexCore.dll as a file to your project and set the following properties:
Build Action = None
Copy to output directory = Always

This way the RanorexCore.dll will be copied to the output directory of your project.
