Standalone Ranorex Spy

Use Standalone Spy when you want to inspect an AUT without opening Ranorex Studio, or when you need to load/manage a repository (.rxrep) on a machine where Studio isn’t available.

Start Standalone Spy from Windows

1. Open the Windows Start menu.
2. Start Ranorex Spy (Standalone).
   This is also where you can choose the 32-bit or 64-bit Spy version.
   

Choose 32-bit vs 64-bit

• Integrated Spy uses the same bitness as Ranorex Studio.
• Standalone Spy lets you select the bitness at launch.
• Recommendation: Use the same bitness as your AUT.

Standalone-only: Repository view (load .rxrep)

In Standalone Spy, you can switch between:

• Element browser (live UI tree), and
• Repository view (load and manage .rxrep files).
  

Important: Loading repository files (.rxrep) is only available in the Standalone Spy.

Standalone-only: Select an endpoint (automation root)

Standalone Spy includes an Endpoints option to select which endpoint is the current automation root.
