Existing user upgrading to a new computer


Installing VRLink
This occurs when a user is upgrading to a new computer.  In this scenario the user will want to retain all existing information from the "OLD" computer.  You'll install VRLink onto the "NEW" computer, delete it, then copy and paste from the "OLD" computer to the "NEW" one.  The simplest way to achieve this install is to have the "NEW" and "OLD" computers linked or networked together.  Follow these steps:
  1. Download the latest version of VRLink to the "NEW" computer - Follow the "latest version of VRLink" link to find the correct version of the program.  Click on the link.  This will start the download process.  You can download the file to a specific folder of your choosing or to your Desktop.
  2. Install the software to the "NEW" computer - After the download is complete, click on the "Open" button... or with Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder where you saved the downloaded file.  Then double click it.  In either case, this will begin the installation which will create the appropriate registry entries, desktop icon and folder structure.
  3. Delete the installed folder structure from the "NEW" computer.  Look for the folder under the root of drive-C.  It will look like C:\VRL_XXX... where "XXX" is your three character vendor ID.  Please take special care in identifying and deleting this folder.  Once deleted, this folder, its files and all its child folders and files will all be deleted.
  4. Copy the same folder from the "OLD" computer.  Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the C:\VRL_XXX folder on the "OLD" computer.  Right-click on the folder, then select "Copy."
  5. Paste to the "NEW" computer.  This will copy the entire contents of the C:\VRL_XXX folder and its child folders to the "NEW" computer.
