Hello Trevor,
You might try the install this way:
1. export HKCU\Software\RIT from the old machine's registry --
this contains all the configuration settings
2. load the saved registry file into Notepad and correct any paths
for the locations on the *new* machine
3. copy the .REG file to the new machine
4. install The Bat! on the new machine
5. exit it
6. export HKCU\Software\RIT on the new machine (as a backup) --
if step 9 fails, you can delete this key on the new machine and
reimport this file to return to your starting point
7. copy TB!'s main directory on the new machine and paste it
back, creating a "Copy of The Bat!" folder (and subdirectories)
-- if step 9 fails, you can delete The Bat!'s folder and replace
it with this one to return to the starting point.
8. copy over all the TB! files and folders from the old machine
to the new machine
9. on the new machine, double-click on the .REG file from the old
machine to import it into the new machine's registry
10. start up The Bat! on the new machine
The advantage of this procedure, which I've successfully used, is that
it avoids tampering with the data files.
If you need any help, please contact me privately.
regards, Andy
