I suspect the answer to this is no; but is there a way (short of just cloning the whole windows install) to copy an installed programme from one machine to another?
The company providing the software has a default "installer" which is just a script to download files off the internet, and they no longer support Windows (even though I paid for a "lifetime" licence), but I still have an old version on another machine so wondering if I could copy it in some way.
It may be that just copying the folder from program files or whatever will work.
If it doesn't you may need to go searching for config files in AppData or something (and possibly edit them to reflect new paths) or registry keys that would need to be duplicated.
