Abstract
A method and system for describing, extracting and migrating application information from a first personal computer to one or more other computers. This method and system provides a means for selecting and translating the information useful in transferring application programs, settings and files while maintaining the preferred preferences and directories of the users. Using a standard INI file format, this method makes use of Application Information Files (AIFs) containing tags. The tags provide identification of multiple versions of the application and conversion information for settings, registry information and files.
