Hi folks!
I really,really need some advice how best to migrate my existing Vue (and Poser) installations to a new 64 bit machine.
I have Poser 4 and 6 and Vue 6 infinite installed on my E partition on an IDE hard drive under XP 32 bit.
Now I have a brandnew machine with Windows Vista premium home edition running on a quadcore 64 bit system with 8Gig RAM and a fast graphics card.
All fine. But how best to migrate my ageold applications (Poser 6 still acessing a huge Poser 4 runtime) to the new system? I copied 79 Gigabite -my entire old E partition- to the exising D partition on the new 64 bit system.
Obviously my apps have some disorientation issues now.
Poser 6 runs faster but can't find squad. Even when I copied all Poser 4 textures into the Poser 6 runtime folder my saved figures didn't get all the conforming figures right,and even without their textures.
Loading saved poser files doesn't work at all.
Vue 6 infinite asks me for my serial which I had forgotten in the meantime. I have retrieved it from the e-on website now but I worry about nodelocked license issues. Loading saved vue files should be a problem too I reckon.
So what to do? Maybe delete the copied files, create an E-partition on the new system and then copy everything into that new partition?
What kind of experiences and suggestions do you have?
Thanks alot in advance!
