Howto copy software from one computer to another

How to copy your programs from one system to the next. Microsoft claims this is
impossible. Well, our job is about doing just that. This is mainly for programs which can’t be downloaded
normally like an older version of HRBlock which might open an older file. Also its good for bragging rights

Copy the program folder/s from Program Files to the same folder on the new system
(it may work in other places, but never had the time or resources to test out everything)

some programs have more folders in the following locations. These generally have the user
info for that program:
/Program Files/Common Files/
nameofuser/AppData/ look in LocalNow,Local and Roaming for your program and copy it
to the same place on the current system.

Download and install all Visual C++ redistributables and runtimes and the .NET framework
