@supermouse Install iStripper on the New laptop
when the Installation is Done, the last Screen with the Finish button, there is a Check box
RUN ISTRIPPER
Un Check that Check box.
You Don't want to run iStripper yet...
Copy the Data folder and All of it's subFolders from the Existing PC to the Lap top
Make sure you Copy it to the
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\vghd folder
So you will then have a Data folder and all of it's sub folders on the Laptop in the vghd folder.
It's probably easier to 1st Copy the Data folders to the External HDD
and then Copy them from the External HDD to the Lap top.
Easier, but it takes two extra steps.
Next, and this may take a LONG time
Copy the Models folder and All of it's Sub folders from the Curent PC to the New External HDD
You Can place that in any Folder you want.
But you will need to know the Exact Path to the New Models folder
Lets say for Example the New External HDD has the Letter Q as it's drive letter
and you made a Folder called
MyStuffAnd then in that Folder you Copied the Models folder.
So then the Path to the Models Folder would be
Q:\MyStuff\Models\When all of that is Done,
It may take longer than 1 day depending on how many downloaded Cards yo u have.
Plug the New HDD into the Laptop and Verify the Drive Letter.
It might be Different on the Laptop
Lets say it changed to
F:You can edit the Registry on the New laptop
to tell iStripper what Path to look in for the Model folder.
This is the Branch
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Totem\vghd\System
and this is the Key to Edit.
ModelsPath
Using the example I gave you would edit that Key so it is set to
F:\MyStuff\Models\
Once all of that is Done,
you can Now Open iStripper
iStripper will perform a rebuild collection the 1st time it's starts.
and that could take a while ( 5 to 10 minutes or More )
So don't do anything till it is done.
( you might see a spinning icon in the systray while it's working )
I shared some Pictures Of My System
I made a subfolder called WyldAnimal on the I: drive and
I copied all of my models Folders to the External Drive I:
( it is actually a network Share, but it is set exactly the same like a plug in External HDD )
Then I edited my Registry so the ModelsPath was set to the External Path.
The Last Photo is an Example of the Edit using the Sample from Above.
