I wanted to try to run Biab as an alternative even on my notebook. I installed Biab in the notebook and I copied in a custom path Drum, Drum-demo, Realtracks, Realtracks-demo folders I had on the desktop. I did not want to install all the Realtracks in the notebook but copy them from the desktop. I then changed the settings in the Preferences / Drums and Preferences / Realtracks to my custom path for Realdrums and Realtracks. When I open My song Biab not found the realtrack and realdrums copied from descktop.
If you just copy the RealTracks folder over from one computer to the other, the RealTracks will not work. Your RealTracks need to actually be installed on that computer, otherwise you'll be missing styles, as well as all the ST2 and XT2 files that the RealTracks require.
If you really want to copy things over instead of installing, you'll need to copy over the entire BB folder, but installing normally is still your best bet, by far.

what should I copy? which folders? I want to try this road ... the installation is very boring ....
You copy the \BB folder and everything within it. However, you will have better chance of success if you run the Installer. What about fonts? You cannot just copy those, and they are not in the \BB folder at all. However, the Installer will do all of this correctly.

This will take longer than installing (copying the folder to an external drive, then copying from the drive to the new computer), and things might not work perfectly right away, but that's your best bet if you really don't want to install. You'd still have to install Band-in-a-Box itself as well, to make sure you get your fonts and plugins.
I'd still highly recommend just installing the software normally, it's likely to save you some headaches and wouldn't much extra time, if any.

The PC can do this while I sleep !!
However, I find it strange that I have to copy the whole bb folder and then I have to overwrite the program files too and that there is no real separation between the program and the data
Casak, there is a lot to learn if you want to do things manually.
BiaB includes Fonts. Font registrations are handled by the operating system, not the BiaB program.
Complex programs like BiaB could not exist without operating system interaction. Also, the file locations and more need to be stored so that the O/S knows about these.
Let the Installer work this out for you. That's what it's for.
