What I have successfully done in the past is to WinZip the entire BIAB (and RealBand folders) and save to an external USB drive (with resulting BIAB.zip and RealBand.zip).

Then, unzip the files on the new machine, and run the basic installation program that came with BIAB (you can select to run everything from the external USB); however, this will install the proper fonts, the DX effects, SampleTank, etc. Then, just create shortcuts to the new BIAB executable and RealBand executable, launch it on your computer, and make sure the folders for your RealTracks and RealDrums are set correctly.

It will still take quite a while to unzip all the files, as there are many and the zip file will be very large. The advantage is that it should preserve all your settings (although you'll still probably have to re-enable your VST/VSTi effects and instruments, unless you have already installed them in the same folder structure as the old machine).

Or you can just do the full install from the USB hard drive; either way, I think it will take about the same amount of time. But once done, it's done!
