Thank you,

Ok , workaround by commented out the 3 ranorex references. but how to get perm fixed.
Thank you ,

Where are the ranorex references you commented out? How did you do this?

Thanks. I'm having some of the same issues with the upgrade.

file with extension ".csproj" -- if you open the file there are xml nodes, i did hightlight and commented out from ranorex menu bar-

<Reference Include="Ranorex.Core.Injector, Version=$(RanorexVersion)">
<HintPath>..\bin\Debug\Ranorex.Core.Injector.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="Ranorex.Core.WinApi, Version=$(RanorexVersion)">
<HintPath>..\bin\Debug\Ranorex.Core.WinApi.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="Ranorex.Libs.WinForms, Version=$(RanorexVersion)">
<HintPath>..\bin\Debug\Ranorex.Libs.WinForms.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>

Actually, those three references (Core.Injector, Core.WinApi, Libs.WinForms) should not be needed by a Ranorex project, so it is safe to remove them. They should not have been there in the first place, did you add these references manually?

The error message you see should not have any impact, since those assemblies do not even contain any code-completion information.
Anyway, we will look into this error message, so thank you for reporting it.
