Keith

I got mine working today, one thing that did trip it up was Windows XP
firewall - this I have had to disable.

Order of install (all on one machine)
xAP Hub as a service - set default options
xAP Mail Monitor, first running the app to gram the xml file, then running
as a service.
XAP Mail to OSD as a service using the default options
xAP to MCE plugin, again using the default options.

It did take a bit of work - especially the firewall issue!

And remember you can only run one xAP on a machine unless you run xAP hub!

I've tried to in MCxAP today, and am having some trouble with it.
The main problem is that it is not appearing in the Viewer app at all -
i've
tried installing with MCE running/not running, rebooted, everything!!

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Keith
