Crystal Reports Server Standalone

Hello experts -

Is it possible to install Crystal Report Server Trial Sofware on a standalone machine and access it with Crystal Reports also on the same standalone machine? I have been asked to 'figure it out' but am not actually in IT so have no access to any servers.

Am I out of luck?

Thank you.

I don't know. You may have to install some things like IIS or Apache to get it to work like a server.

OK - so I have a feeling I have no idea what I am doing. I downloaded the exe and zip files for the Crystal server trial (51037591_exe, part2.rar, and part3.rar), ran the exe and then opened the folder it created (51037591), went into the Business Objects folder and tan the setup.exe. I couldn't find a readme file or any step by step documentation so this was a guess as to what I am supposed to do. After it finished (I did get an error midway through saying my key code was invalid but it kept going anyway - the key code worked last Friday).

I went into the Business Objects Client and tried to install it but got the error included in the Word doc below.

When I choose Tomcat does it install it for me or do I need to download and install that separately?

I ran the diagnostic tool and attached the xml file if that is any help. I have also included the screen shot below.

I would be more than happy to uninstall and re-install again if necessary. I really need step-by-step instructions - I did look at the installation guide and got as far as the diagnostic tool but it didn't tell me how to fix anything...

Thank you.
