PostTrans XML API is simple to install AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. 

IMPORTANT : Create a user in ALL Sage 50 companies for PostTrans to use before installing.   We suggest you call the user "PT1".  PostTrans needs to log into Sage 50, using the Sage SDK toolkit.  If you use an account which someone else uses you will get various errors.   IT WILL NOT BE HAPPY!
