How to make wps tags visible in Portal Express?

I have created some portlets which use <wps> tags to link to portal pages. (Apparently this is not supported, but it runs on a Unix box running Portal 5.0.2.2, Enable or Extend - unlikely to be Express).

However when I move the portlets to a Windows 2003 Server, I am unable to see the code which is encircled by wps tags.

I have ensured that the engine.tld file is the same as that on the Unix server.

I have also copied an engine.jar file from my laptop onto strategic locations on the 2003 server (such as <appserver root>/lib and <portalserver root>/IBMTrans/lib

What am I missing? Could someone advise with suitable location for engine.jar?

Thanks in advance

Solved this issue. The links were not visible because I hadn't assigned the 'Custom Unique Names' (referenced in the links) on the portal.

Doh!
