2. Aspen Process Explorer and aspenONE Process Explorer web server version 8.8 and older on different systems: the path in the Destination field should be a UNC path similar to \\CastleBlack\c$\inetpub\wwwroot\AspenTech\ProcessExplorer\Files\Public where CastleBlack is the name of the A1PE server
3. Aspen Process Explorer and aspenONE Process Explorer (A1PE) web server version 9.0 and newer on the same system: C:\ProgramData\AspenTech\A1PE\Files\Public
4. Aspen Process Explorer and aspenONE Process Explorer web server version 9.0 and newer on different systems: the path in the Destination field should be a UNC path similar to \\CastleBlack\c$\ProgramData\AspenTech\A1PE\Files\Public where CastleBlack is the name of the A1PE server
