Running a test binary on a different m/c without Studio

[andylee]

Hi

Is it possible I can run a test binary on a different machine without an installation of Ranorex Studio?

I'm getting the following error if try running my test application:

YSystem.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'RanorexSpy, Versi
on=1.5.0.3287, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e8101b43073a3fe1' or one of its d
ependencies. This application has failed to start because the application config
uration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. (Except
ion from HRESULT: 0x800736B1)
File name: 'RanorexSpy, Version=1.5.0.3287, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e810

s application has failed to start because the application configuration is incor
rect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. (Exception from HRESULT

Hi Andy,

To run Ranorex based automation binaries on another machine you have to install at least the Ranorex core components on that machine. In fact, you can uncheck Ranorex Studio during the setup process, to avoid the installation of Ranorex Studio.

As pointed out in the Ranorex 1.5 documentation, you need three DLLs in the working directory of your Ranorex application when you use any of the .NET languages:
RanorexCore.dll, RanorexNet.dll, and RanorexSpy.dll.

When you use classes from the Ranorex.Web namespace, you additionally need to copy Microsoft.mshtml.dll and SHDocVw.dll to the output directory.

You can do this simplify the copying by adding the files to your Ranorex Studio or Visual Studio project and specify the "Copy to output directory" property.
