Probably just inertia. Unless you use any plugins (TB!'s download page
says "The 64-bit version of The Bat! does not accept 32-bit plugins".)

If you are like me at deleting files, you may still have the 
installation file you downloaded for your current version.

The latest version (7.3.6) will have some bug fixes and a may have some
additional features, but will not accept your v6.x licence. If you
look at "Help | About" it might tell you what version your current
licence covers you until.  A licence that covers 6.4.x will be good to
either the last 6.x.x version (6.8.8?) or the last 7.0.x version
(7.0.0.56?), depending on when you bought the v6 licence [0]. 

At the bottom of the TB! download page is a link to "Archived versions
of The Bat!"[1].

1.) Make a backup with your existing TB! installation.
2.) Copy that backup (*.tbk file) to the new machine.
3.) Download TB! onto thte new machine.
4.) when your installation starts, it will ask you whether you want to
restore from a backup.

It is that simple indeed. I have done thgat a couple of times. There
are some settings that will not be restored; so minor that I don't
remember which.

I have always used the same version on the new machine. I don't know
whether it will work with another version (64 instead of 32), others
will chip in.

Hi,

No I started the bat.exe in the new location by direct clicking on the
executable.

what I did was first export registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT\The
bat!, made a copy of it, changed all path values to the new path, then
import again. Are you saying this is the correct way to do?

Hi,

I found the trouble. If I check 'run this program as administrator' then all
is working fine.

Strange: I checked the old copy and this was not checked. Also it is not
copied in the 'program file (x86)' folder so there should be no
restrictions.

I can't tell you about Vista but in XP some programs only work if
you run as administrator - I never had this issue with TB!. 

And some need to be ran as administrator once in each user logon, but 
will work with ordinary user privileges after that. I also never had 
this issue with TB! (but of course the installer is run as admin...).

Hi,

Thanks for reply. No removing that tick prevent it from running again with
same exception error. BTW: I'm logged in as administrator on that machine.

I did not copy it (for rights reasons) to the program files folder, but a
folder where I have program not installed with an installer (to know the
difference). I have no programs in that folder that write to the registry -
maybe that is the reason.

Anyway I hope my experiance - solution can benefit others too.

Thanks again for quick reply!

Re: Moving the Bat! data files to another computer

2005-06-07 Thread Chris


Nick OHare @ 2005-Jun-7 7:19:04 PM
Moving the Bat! data files to another computer mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I'm using The Bat! v3.0.1 and need to move it to a new computer. I
 have the registration key but need to know which files to transfer
 over so that The Bat! recognizes all my previous folders, filters
 etc.

A backup and restore usually works fine.

If that doesn't work, transfer your whole mail directory to the new
computer. Also, export The Bat's registry key (HKCU\SOFTWARE\RIT\The
Bat!). If you want, you can modify the Working Directory value to
reflect your data's new location. Import this key on the new computer.
If you did not modify the registry key, the next time you start The
Bat!, change the location of your data directory.
