Terry,
- use Indicator builder/Organizer/Export formula files to export all Custom
indicators, System tests, Explorations, etc. I find it easiest to export
these to a new directory (e.g. MSbackup) on a hard drive, and then copy them
over to a CDRW/DVDRW/external hard disk, if needed. But this process does
not export all of the DLLs or your custom charts & templates. For that, just
copy the subfolders External Function DLLs and Charts located under
Equis\Metastock to another medium (or even the same direcory as above) as
described above. After you have installed MS and any plubins or addons you
have purchased on the new PC, and have rebooted, just use Indicator
builder/Organizer/Import formula files to import those files you exported
above. Since many may already exist in the deafult MS installtion, its up to
you if you want to overwrite them during this import process. Finally, copy
the External Function DLLs and Charts subfolders to the corresponding ones
on the new PC
- the last time I installed MS on a new PC was ~2-3 yrs ago; back than, I
had v7.2 I think. What I did was this: installed MS (and any plugins) on the
new PC, rebooted (to allow any registry changes to take effect or DLLs to
register), ran MS once or twice till it made all registry entries it needed
to. Then I just copied the entire Equis folder from the old PC over to the
new PC over the home LAN, replacing everything. Rebooted and started MS.
Worked like a charm, with all my custom settings, etc. Whether this process
will still work with MS v8.x or v9.x, I don't know but is the easiest way
- Whatever you do, make a complete backup of the entire Equis directory (on
your old PC) to a CD-RW/DVD-RW/hard disk and keep for atleast a few
weeks/months till you are satisfied your new installation is working OK
- Don't hesitate to call MS tech support; that's what they are there for!
