Hello,

I have 1 software installed in my office PC. I want to make copy of as its not even available on internet. How do I can make installed software backup including registry and system files as the software does not run if only program files have been coppied.

Thanks

No guarantee it will work, but, Try this:
Copy the program folder and sub folders to your new computer (Preferable a laptop with similar operating system so you can run it with your office PC side by side).
Start in the background Regmon and Filemon. (Available in the web)
Set up the filters for filemon and regmon so only requests from your program exes and dlls are captured.
Pay particular attention to Regmon. See each key that the program attempts to open in the registry and is not found.

Now look for that key in the Office PC registry using Regedit, export it and import it into your new computer. It may take several attempts and several trips.
Do the same with filemon. See if the program tries to open files in weird folders, in the windows folder, system32 folder etc. Copy such files from the office computer to your new computer.

Needless to say, this has a remote chance of working. AT least the program should be installed in a very similar environment: C:\Program Files\myprog

Also, if the program uses some hardware/version specific drivers instead of the windows defaults, you are in trouble. An msi type of installer routinely "adapts" the program to the available environment by choosing the right drivers. This "transplant" operation is not as smart and may fail because driver compatibility issues.

Finally the program may access some registry keys at run time, instead of at load time, so you may have to repeat the exercise if the program finally starts, but hangs during its routine operations. . .

thanks. will give a try.

Hello every one. I managed to dump the key and also converted the dump file to reg. now what is the next step I m supposed to do to make my program dongle free?

Hehe, nice try.
