Thanks for that, Fred.

So I guess the strategy is to run it, then try to figure out what's broken.

For broken stuff do you suggest uninstall/re-install?

cheers

While it did move some applications over flawlessly (registry entries and programs and data folders), others it would only move some registry entries (if any at all), or some of the required files. Definitely not a 100% solution.
