Migration to new computer
« on: October 30, 2014, 11:57:10 pm »
I have an old Vista laptop that I have my projects on. I just bought a new one and want to migrate my Lazarus and its additional components to the new Win 8. Is that possible?

What is the problem? Just install Lazarus, components which you use and rebuild Lazarus. That's all( of course copy your projects and build again).

Or simply zip your c:\lazarus and restore it on the other computer and  copy and paste the %localappdata%\lazarus to the same position in your new profile.

(hint:  type "%localappdata%" by windows->run aka windowskey-R )

That should go a long way.

Thanks for the responses.

Exdatis, One component is PowerPDF. It is not installed easily in a windows system. It does not have a .lpk file (my low skill level does not help)

Marcov, I did what you suggested. I did get most of everything. just have to figure out PowerPDF. Any ideas?

(specifically pack_powerpdf)

I'm sorry, for the time being I can't help you, I've not used PowerPdf so far and I don't know the problems.  :(
Regards
