Ranorex no longer able to build

Hi,

My web automation test with Ranorex doesn't give me a good experience.
First of all I experienced either Ranorex or my Web application not responding or quite slow during the recording (when no Ranorex is involved. I don't have any problems.).

So I tried to install remote server manager for window 8 in order to disable Internet Explorer Security Configuration as per Ranorex web site suggested. However after the server manager is installed(together with a window update). The recorded test case cannot be built and it is not able to run at all.

The two errors are:
1) The "EntityDeploy" task has been declared or used incorrectly, or failed during construction.
Check the spelling of the task name and the assembly name. (MSB4060)
2) The "EntityDeploy" task could not be instantiated from the assembly
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Data.Entity.Build.Tasks.dll".
Please verify the task assembly has been built using the same version of the Microsoft.Build.Framework assembly
as the one installed on your computer and that your host application is not missing a binding redirect for Microsoft.Build.Framework.
Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Data.Entity.Build.Tasks.EntityDeploy' to type 'Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask'. (MSB4127)


It seems that .net framework 3.5 is messed up. Can someone help, please?

Betty

Hi,

It looks as if the remote server manager installation messed something up? Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall Ranorex? If reinstalling Ranorex does not help, try to uninstall the remote server manager and eventually, check if there is a restore point you can return to (remote server manager installation related restore point). Another thing you might try is .NET Framework Repair Tool.

Hi Pavel,

Yesterday I uninstalled remote server manager and the windows update right after the issue occurred.
After that the issue seems not gone until I restarted the computer a couple of times.

So I don't know the exact issue. Now it is ok.

Thanks,
Betty
