Hi Craig,
I hope my explanation is accurate. The APS is the primary component for
communication between users and the different services that make up the
"Enterprise." It sounds as though you have installed Enterprise on your PC.
This should be adequate for testing purposes. You need to install the
components on at least one machine. The installation allows for everything
to installed on a single machine, but you can install individual components
on individual server machines. You can look at the services that are
running on your computer to make sure that they are all installed. There
should be an APS, a page server, an input server, an output server, etc. By
default the APS will use your machine name, so that is correct. The report
that are used in the Enterprise are stored in a folder with a path something
like: "Enterprise\FileStore\Input".
I have not used the Publishing Wizard, but can you access the Crystal
Launchpad?
