Copy installed programs on Windows.

Anonymous Sat 06 Dec 2025 06:27:10 No.1550966 View View Reply Original Report

I need to "copy" an installed program from one windows installation to another; reinstalling is not an option. I know for a fact that there was a free app that allowed you to do it but I don't remember what was it called.

Do you guys know any free apps or any way to copy installed programs?

Do you seriously not know how to copy and paste files?

Just copy the folder and paste it into the other installation.

If it doesn't work then you're asking the wrong question.

First try copying the program's folder to the other computer, and try running it.
If it works, great. If not, go back to where the program is installed.
Download procmon and use it to see which DLLs or other ancillary files are required by the program, and copy those as well. Paste the DLLs in the same folder as the program, other files may need to go elsewhere.
After that, try running the program again. If it still doesn't work, open regedit and try searching for any entries that may be required by the program. Export them, and import them into the other computer.

Of course, none of this will work if you're trying to run a 64-bit Windows program in a 32-bit Windows install. The reverse may or may not work either. Neither will running a 16-bit program in 64-bit Windows, because the compatibility layer is not implemented in 64-bit Windows distributions.
