Installation package of XEP 2.5 evaluation version consists of two
files: readme.txt and Setup.class. You run Setup.class and follow
the prompts; I wonder if this is not intuitive. (A further step would be
using InstallShield; but this is hard to achieve for a Java application :-)).
Anyhow, in case of installation problems, you can direct your questions
to RenderX support ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
I realize that our poor command-line utility is far from being a model
of user-friendliness. There are reasons for this: XEP is sold exclusively
for server applications, and we care more about efficiency than about
ease of use. Still there are many downloads from our site, and we get
enough feedback from people who manage to get our tool running. This
makes me think it's not really impossible. If you ever decide to retry
XEP, I would be glad to assist you.

I dare not say that XEP is good enough to suit your needs :-). But (IMVHO)
it's difficult to make statements about maturity level of an application
if you have never run it.
