Hi Dennis:

I've built a new computer that will retire my aging 11 year old WinXP machine. I read your post regarding just transferring the Logic 9 folder to the new computer and then install over it. A couple of questions -

1) The new drive will be a D:\ drive. Will I need to manually change the .ini file to reflect this change ?
2) I must have downloaded Logic 9 since I can not find the CD-ROM for it. I have them all the way back to Logic 4 ! Will downloading and running the latest upgrade do the trick or do I need the original disk data ?

Dennis:

I worked with it last night. Just for everybody's information, if you are using an SSD for the OS and a standard HD for your applications, just put your whole Logic 9 folder on your new D:\ drive and run the full install of Logic 9. When asked, manually type in D:\Logic 9 as your target and everything will work its way out. No troubles.

Now, when I applied the most recent update (63), that's when I ran into problems. It came up with the "announcer.vcx" box and I remembered that being a problem before. I looked up my old emails to this forum and discovered it had to do with the assembly files. In fact, on my old machine, I saved the not-working assembly files in a folder titled assembly-old. So, when I copied the files I knew to work over the new install, it worked perfectly. Everything came up exactly like I left it on the old machine.

Thanks for the email on the disk install. I'll make a CD copy of this and squirrel it away.
