I am upgrading the disk on my Windows XP computer and would like to avoid having to reinstall all the RealTracks over again from scratch. Is there a way to do it?
Looking at the "Add/Remove Programs" list, I see that neither BIAB, nor PT, nor RealBand appear in the install list, which suggests that they do not actually put entries there when installed. I am wondering, therefore, whether the following would work:
1) Copy C:\bb, C:\PT, and C:\RealBand from the old disk to the new.
2) Ditto for C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Band-in-a-Box.
The only problem I can see is that there are two "Add/Remove Programs" items for "PG Music DirectX Plugins 2.0.0.0. However, I am guessing that if I just reinstall the latest updates to BIAB, PT, and RealBand, that these will also install.
Am I missing anything?

BiaB itsefl does nto write to the registry, therefore there is no appearance of it in Add/Remove. This is a really cool feature of the program IMO.
You can simply copy the entire BB folder right over to the new drive.
However, the new system will need to also have the DirectX plugins and the PGMusic fonts installed, which do have to install to system. (Also any of the DirectX synths you may be using for MIDI, such as the VSC DXi, etc. must be installed via an Installer, as they write to the registry too.)
Your original Install disks from PGMusic have an option to only install those three items and not the whole shebang.
The Updater doesn't do that.
So it goes like this:
1) Copy the entire bb folder over to the new drive.
2) Use the Installer program to install only the Fonts, DX effects and DXi synth(s).
Done.
The same applies to RB and PT.
Neat way to do things, your songs folders and everything else come right over to the new drive and will be ready to use just as before.

The versions of BB, RB, and PT I'm currently using were installed from downloaded files (which I saved). I trust that I can use those to install?

Yes, you can use those. After you do that, you should install the latest BB/RB/PT patches from our website.
