    As the manual says, the first time RenderX XEP is needed, XXE will
    ask where XEP is located. And, unless you press Cancel, the next
    time it will not ask where XEP is located. This is fine, if you
    /did/ have an XEP installatation. But what to do if you did not have
    XEP installed and you failed to press cancel? How can I get XXE to,
    once more, ask me to specify where XEP is located?

It's always possible to uninstall the XEP add-on and then reinstall it.

In order to uninstall the XEP add-on (or any add-on) please:

1) Use Options|Install Add-ons.
2) Click the Uninstall tab.
3) Click the checkbox (not the row, the checkbox) in front of the name of the add-on, you want to uninstall.
4) Click OK.
5) Restart XXE as instructed.

    The way I understand it, you cannot really uninstall the XEP and FOP
    extensions.

You can uninstall *any* add-on provided you have sufficient privileges to do so. (On Windows, start XXE as an administrator to be sure.)



Thus normally, both are always installed.

The XEP add-on is not included by default in the standard distributions. The FOP add-on is.



Since they play the same role, how to I decide whether to use XEP or FOP?

When both the XEP add-on and the FOP add-on have been installed, XEP will always be given priority over FOP.

    The XEP plug-in require that you manually install XEP somewhere on
    your computer. (But, if I got it right, the first time you use it,
    XEP gets copied into XXE so that you may, if you wish, uninstall XEP
    from your computer.)

Yes, that's right.



But what about the FOP plug-in? Does it require
    me to manually install FOP on my computer before I can use the plug-in?


No. Unlike the XEP add-on, and like all the other add-ons, the FOP add-on is self-contained and hence is ready to use after it has been installed (and XXE has been restarted).
