Heya!
I recently updated to version 6.0 and since then whenever i run Ranorex i get this:
Reloading just ends up looping or crashing the program. If i choose "Keep old solution open" i can work but the same popup keeps popping after pretty much every action you make inside the program(adding a new code module or tracking something etc..). Anyone got some advice to fix this?

Re: The solution has been changed externally - problem
Hello Sebastian,
Thank you for your comment. This issue was already reported by other users, but unfortunately, we are not able to reproduce it on our side. It seems to be related to a running anti virus software. May I ask you to send an email to [email protected]? I would like to analyze the issue in more detail.
Thank you.

Bernhard

Re: The solution has been changed externally - problem
Hi,
I've experienced this as well, but in my case, it was caused by user error. Simply, I've mistakenly opened the solution (studio) twice
After I switched from second instance of studio to first one, it complained about externally modified solution. It sounds like OK behavior in case of opening the same solution multiple times? But it should not happen if the solution/studio is opened just once.

Hi Pavel,
You are absolutely correct. In your case this is an expected behavior, but we already found out that the problem on Sebastians computer is caused by the Anti-Virus scanner. The dialog pops up again and again even there is only one Ranorex Studio instance open.
We are currently analyzing it and I hope we can fix this issue soon.
