Anyone tried using WET for migrating a program installation from XP to Vista?
I know that you have to transfer the files separately, but apparently WET can transfer registry entries relating to a particular program.
Now OK, I realise that it might not be such a great idea migrating a full program installation from XP to Vista, BUT you can of course Create a Restore Point (in case it all goes terribly wrong).
The reason I'm considering this is because the program (in XP) in question has components to it which I don't necessarilly have the install EXE's for anymore. It would be a monster job (and maybe not possible) to do a fresh reinstall.
SO anyone tried migrating a program install from XP to Vista with WET? Does it work at all? Chances of success?
Thanks
