Publish official Ranorex NuGet package
Please publish the core Ranorex libraries in an official NuGet package in order to allow for easier management of Ranorex integration into projects.

Currently we are investigating all possible use cases for this idea.
It would help us a lot if you could comment your project setup and how you are adding Ranorex to it. Thx a lot.
Best regards

If you create an official nuget package, please add Ranorex.Controls.dll to the Runtime.

It does not really help us since the build machines need to build the ranorex solution which requires to have ranorex installed. But ranorex is not installed on our build machines. Hence the request to have it as a nuget package.

Ranorex provides the option to copy all necessary DLLs to the output directory (Settings -> General -> Copy runtime to output). Like this, you don't have to add Ranorex libs manually.
Wouldn't this help you in your situation? -

We also use xcopy deployment to execute our tests on our build machines which don't have Ranorex installed. But since Ranorex is not installed on our build machines, we also had to write custom code that changes the references to the ranorex libs in the .csproj to a nuget package that we created ourselves. It would be much simpler if the Ranorex csproj would reference ranorex libs from a nuget package by itself.

We are using the xcopy deployment. Which means we need Ranorex during build time to deploy it to our binaries. Since we try to avoid adding binaries to our source control system nuget would help us a lot here. So we can get rid of unzip scripts in our build scripts.
