How can I get the appropriate files installed on the new one (without losing the data) to run the application.

Hi Peter,

Your best solution (as Erik mentioned) is to create new installation disks for the install. Copying the runtime files may not be enough. This is especially true if you've used any ActiveX controls. These need to be registered (with their licenses) in the system registry. The Setup Wizard makes this process a good deal easier.
