Agent reports wrong version number

[bwood]

I am trying to install and run Ranorex agent on another machine in my network. I installed version 6.0.0 from the link in Studio. However, once the agent is setup I get an error stating that I must install a newer version (at least 5.0.0). I'm not sure what to do as I thought 6.0.0 was greater than 5.0.0

The exact error I am getting is

Code: Select all

Newer version required. Please update to Agent 5.0.0 or later.   at Ranorex.Dex.Client.Panel.Logic.ViewModels.AgentContainerViewModel.<CreateAgentAsync>d__44.MoveNext()

Hi bwood,

I suspect you are using an older version of Ranorex which is expecting Agent 5.0.0, however you have 6.0.0 installed. The Ranorex Remote Agent is not forward or backward compatible and must be used with the version of Ranorex is was released with. If you are using an older version of Ranorex (< 9.1), you have two options, (1) upgrade Ranorex to 9.1 (compatible with Agent 6.0.0), or (2) downgrade agent to the version compatible with your current version of Ranorex. I have private messaged you our download archive link which can provide the version of agent compatible for your version of Ranorex (we prefer this link not to be public).

I hope this makes sense and resolves your issue!
