I will certainly stop the server manually before copying the latest state from 
the old machine, then run the installer to fix what needs to be fixed. I 
suppose that the installer will then start the server again, as it did the 
first time ? BTW, IMO, this was not a good idea. When I install some piece of 
software, I like to look at what has been installed before actually running it.

Done.

(*) it seems that the installer must start the server because, if the server is 
not running, console cannot be used to enable the menu bar icon. But the menu 
bar icon is not provided by the server, but by the InterMapperMenu application. 
So there is absolutely NO reason why console should not be able to 
enable/disable the menu bar icon when the server is not running. Putting this 
option in another place in the console menus than the server settings, would be 
infinitely more logical, and would allow to get rid of that artificial 
dependency on server, and thus would remove the need to start it at the end of 
the installation. My 0.02, anyway.

Best regards.
