rebuild PC

Get a list of programs installed on a PC

Overview When rebuilding a PC it is always really handy to know what programs are installed on a PC.  Here's a simple way to do this:

1)  Search (program files search window) for Windows Easy Transfer.

2)  Run the program...helps to have a flashdrive or HDD connected to the system to write to.

a)  Don't selected all the SHARED ITEMS as this could be huge.  Go into customize and de-select a lot of the shared items.

3)  After the program has been run, there is a Programs Report that could be run (again search for easy transfer....select reports one).  The program will show the report but you cannot print it.  Here is the location of the XML file with the info....just open it in excel:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Easy Transfer\PostMigData\2011-10-14\SourceAppList.xml

Reference:

Lots of info on the program:

UltimateS Pro and Moving Presets

Overview Need to move presets to either another computer or when a computer is rebuilt.  Where do I find the presets?  The main presets I need are the batch render ones.

Solution

(from John Rofrano, VASST)

Your Ultimate S Pro presets are stored in this file:

%AppData%\VASST\Ultimate S Pro\4.0\UltimateS4.js.settings

Where the environment variable %AppData% will resolve to a different folder on Windows 7/Vista and XP (you didn’t say what OS you had before)

In Windows 7 it will be:

C:\Users\[account name]\AppData\Roaming\VASST\Ultimate S Pro\4.0\UltimateS4.js.settings

Where [account name] is the name of your user account on Windows.

You can also just do a search for “UltimateS4.js.settings” to find it. Then copy it into the proper folder on your new PC.

Note: Custom Render Templates folder will also be needed to be copied to the C://Users/John/AppData/Roaming/Sony/
