    What is your recommended way for installing the PeopleSoft Development Environment on a local workstation? We have gone the pathway of copying the bin, setup, and tuxedo directories locally to C:\PT8.53, but we are seeing issues with Query Editor and I assume I am missing some needed file.

    Trying to avoid a full tools installation that includes the appserv and webserv when they are not needed. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
