2. Modify this application.xml file for the application and applications settings
that you want to migrate.
3. Modify the information in the <Applications> section.
4. Modify the <Name> and <Verison> commands in the <Application
Shortname=Shortname> section.
5. Determine the registry keys that must be migrated:
a. Click Start , and then click Run . The Run window opens. In the Open field,
type regedit and click OK . The Registry Editor window opens.
b. In the left pane, expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE node.
c. Expand the Software node.
d. Expand the vendor-specific node, for example, Adobe .
e. Continue navigating until you have located the registry key for the
application. In this example, the registry key is SOFTWARE\Adobe\
Acrobat Reader\6.0.
f. Set the value of theDetect field. For example:
<Detects>
<Detect
<hive>HKLM</hive>
<keyname>Software\Adobe|acrobat Reader\6.0<keyname>
</Detect
</Detects
6. Modify the name and version commands in the Install_Directories section.
7. Determine the path to the installation directories for the application.
a. From the Registry Editor window, navigate to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\
Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\InstallPath node.
b. Add the appropriate command to the Install_Directories section of the
application file. For example:
<Install_Directory>
<OS>WinXP</OS>
<Registry>
<hive>HKLM</hive
<keyname>Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\InstallPath</keyname>
<value>(Default)</value>
</Registry>
</Install_Directory>
Note: If you do not find an application-specific directory in the
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppPaths
directory, you must locate a directory that contains the installation path
elsewhere in the HKLM\Software tree. Then, use that key in
the<Install_Directories> section
8. In the <Files_From Folders> section, specify the customization files you want
to migrate.
a. Since many applications by default save files in the Documents and
settings subdirectory, check the Application data directory for directories
that pertain to the application. If one exists, you can use the following
command to migrate the directory and files:
<Files_From_Folder>SMAvariable\Location\[File] [/s] </Files_From_Folder>
where Location\ is a fully qualified file or directory, and [File] is an
optional parameter that can be used only if Location\ specifies a directory.
In the Adobe Reader example, the customization files are in the
Preferences directory.
