Then you need to establish the 'best' configuration you can before
copying. If you have hosed your universe, then you'd better have
a backup. Or rebuild it. Copying will not magically solve this
problem.

Just as you described. You must install TS to establish the system and
database files. You don't even have to delete the old Omega directory.
When you copy into the old directory, all old files will be overwritten
with
the new, and all new files (your data, studies, workspaces, etc) will be
added.
Be sure that the new TS install is up to the build level of the TS you
will
copy. Don't install bld 23 and then copy bld 21 over it. You could
install
bld 21, then copy bld 21, then upgrade to 23.
