How can I make a Ranorex test report available to colleagues without them having to go through a complete Ranorex installation on their computers? Is there such a thing as a RanorexViewer standalone?
Is there a RanorexViewer-Standalone?

When it's not an issue for you to change the Ranorex reporting options in your project:
Ranorex supports reporting to different formats which do not require a Ranorex installation (e.g. HTML or PDF).
The reporting options can be changed in the test suite's properties dialog in the 'Report' tab.
(First Screenshot from Ranorex documentation)
After enabling HTML/PDF reports, they usually placed in the same directory the test suite is in. More information can be found on their user guide
In my experience the HTML reports are a bit fiddly when opened directly from the file system. The report tries to load resources from other files which most modern browsers do not allow due to the CORS same-origin policy. This can easily be avoided by providing the reports on a web server or by using MS Internet Explorer (or Edge with IE compatibility mode) which treats local files as "same origin".
Ranorex does not yet support a standalone RanorexViewer (this was confirmed to me by Ranorex support on 29 May 2023), therefore the following workaround:
If not yet installed, download the latest version of Ranorex Studio here: https://www.ranorex.com/download-archive/
Copy the following files into a separate folder (correct for Ranorex 10.7.0):
After starting the RanorexViewer.exe you can open a Ranorex Report (.rxlog).
Licence: Ranorex support writes in the forum: "no licence leased" (Source: https://www.ranorex.info/test-reports-to-non-ranorex-users-how-t14836.html#p56989)
Troubleshooting: When starting on a fresh Windows server (e.g. 2019), the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration (Server Manager -> Local Server -> IE Enhanced Security Configuration) prevents the display of the complete test report.
