Device channel failure accessing Android Emulator

Hi

When adding Android SDK Emulator to the Ranorex Mobile Devices using "Manage Devices" wizard I'm getting:
"Device channel failure: XML-RPC Endpoint failure:
Channel failed during data receive."

The Emulator is running fine and it's possible to instrument and deploy an example app: 'KeePassDroid-1.9.9.apk' using the Ranorex Instrumentation Wizard. The app can be started in the emulator. When started the app shows the warning: "Ranorex Services did not respond. Please make sure they are installed and running."

This is with: (Evaluation) Ranorex 4.0.5.24508
Android SDK: adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130729,
Emulator: AVD_for_Nexus_S_by_Google, Target: Android 4.3 (API level 18)
Windows: Win7 Professional 64-bit running in VirtualBox

Any suggestions how to enable correct Ranorex access to the Emulator device?

Regards

The above problems arise when the Ranorex Servicess app is NOT installed on the Android Emulator.

After installing and starting the Ranorex Services app (ex: 405.apk) on the emulator the Ranorex Device Manager can discover the emulator device.

Also starting an instrumented app works fine...

Cheers
