If you have the mail folder in its default location, just copy the entire installation directory and copy it to the desired location on the new system. You also need to export the registry key: HKey_Current_User/Software/RIT to file and then import the same file to the registry of your new machine. Now this is the important part so DO NOT start TB! unless you've sorted this part out : The registry key you imported will contain all the previous installations settings i.e., window sizes and interface settings. More importantly, the paths to the installation directory and the working mail folders are within the registry key you exported itself. If you've moved copied the original installation to the same path/location as in the old location then you'll be fine. However, if you've copied to a new location then you'll need to change this in the registry settings which are easily readable and understandable. You can do the changes by opening the exported key in an editor and making the changes, or importing the key in the registry and then changing the corresponding entries and their values. These are under HKey_Current_User/Software/RIT/The Bat! Just go through and check any path that you see there. If it's different just change it to what it should be. If the mail folder is not in the default location, you'll have to make the necessary changes in HKey_Current_User/Software/RIT/The Bat!/Users Depot Only when you're finished do you start TB! on the new system. When done, you can now upgrade to the later version. Watch out though since there seems to be a problem with the original installation as evidenced by the backup not restoring as it should. So backup! :-) Good luck and don't hesitate to ask for clarifying information. - -- -=Allie C Martin=- List Moderator | TB! v1.61 | Windows XP Pro PGP/GPG Public Key: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=2B0717E2 _________________________________________________________________ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEARECAAYFAj0zEQEACgkQV8nrYCsHF+IC3QCgirqkntqrKRCux85uvfCl29T6 HukAoJZ50h2VyaU8w8GaFMStUv3FwjO4 =IFHC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
