transferring cps from desktop to laptop

[33kracing]

I have a question and ill try and swing for the fence... I have moto cps ver r06.12.05 and I bought a flash drive so I could transfer my cps to my laptop so I wont have to pull cdm1250 from console to re-program etc etc. the problem is...(((and this is where im lost haha))) when u transfer over... its only a shortcut. I realize that it is not the complete program, but converting everything over is only shortcuts. I dnt have much experience with flash drives so im a rookie at this. is this possible?? the cd rom that came with the cps will not work if I "dl" it to my hard drive. I used a copy that moto sent me until my hard copy showed up. the zipped files that I got is the only copy that I have and will open and program properly. and yes... since moto "broke-up" into smaller companies, my account as far as I know was deleted. so I have to start all over again with that, but until I do... is there a way to transfer program over??? thanks in advance!!

You will need to actually install the program from the setup.exe file so that the entire program is written into the registry of your computer. You can't just copy the ProRadio.exe file and expect it to work.

If you have the CD just use the CD, it's not like you can only use it once... if that's possible on the laptop you have

You can also rip the image (a virtual disk) of the CD with something like imgburn and put that into the flash drive, you can then use magicdisk or something on the laptop to mount the image file you've transferred to a virtual CD drive. It'll then act like the real CD would.
