GetReferenceNearestTargetFrameworkTask not found

[jonny]

This question is in relation to https://www.ranorex.com/forum/masked-va ... 15733.html. I had been RDP'ing into my other system due to the current health situation. But to address the response in that question. I uninstalled my license and installed the latest version 9.3.1 of Ranorex to my Windows 10 machine so I don't have to RDP in. This is a fresh install and I started a new project. Unfortunately, to test whether this fixes the linked question above, I am getting this error?

The "GetReferenceNearestTargetFrameworkTask" task was not found. Check the following: 1.) The name of the task in the project file is the same as the name of the task class. 2.) The task class is "public" and implements the Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask interface. 3.) The task is correctly declared with <UsingTask> in the project file, or in the *.tasks files located in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin" directory. (MSB4036) - C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets:1657,5

I am running Ranorex as an admin additionally

Thanks

Jonny

Hi,

Try both solutions that are mentioned in this stackoverflow post? Try to install the NuGet targets and build tasks and the NuGet package manager from the Visual Studio installer.

Hi. Ikeep facing the same problem. Tried both the solutions. Didn't work. Do we have any other alternative here?

Is this showing as a warning or an error when you try to build? Do you know if you happen to have the 4.6.2 developer pack installed?
