We just installed ProfileStage 7.0.1 on a PC, with all components local, and it says "Message switch is unavailable - please start the Message Switch service to allow analysys to be performed".
Did you go into Services and check for the Profile Stage Message Switch " MGXSwitch" , before doing that check the Initialization ".ini" file available in the Client if there is an entry for the Message Switch, as you have installed all the compnents locally, go into"C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc" and make an entry in the "hosts" file as follows

Hi Erik,
Is your platform Windows XP Professional edition which is the supported platform? I have seen the same error with the Home edition which is not supported for ProfileStage.
Did you go into Services and check for the Profile Stage Message Switch " MGXSwitch" , before doing that check the Initialization ".ini" file available in the Client if there is an entry for the Message Switch, as you have installed all the compnents locally, go into"C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc" and make an entry in the "hosts" file as follows
127.0.0.1 localhost
and restart your machine it should work.
Thanks & Regards
