1. Use a text editor that can handle Unicode to open an existing application.xml file. If you installed SMA in

the default location, the application.xml files are located in the c:\%RR%\Migration\bin\Apps directory,
where d is the drive letter of the hard disk drive.

2. Modify this application.xml file for the application and applications settings that you want to migrate.

3. Modify the information in the <Applications> section.

4. Modify the <Name> and <Verison> commands in the <Application Shortname=Shortname> section.

5. Determine the registry keys that must be migrated:

a. Click Start, and then click Run. The Run window opens. In the Open field, type regedit and click

OK. The Registry Editor window opens.

b. In the left pane, expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE node.

c. Expand the Software node.

d. Expand the vendor-specific node, for example, Adobe.

e. Continue navigating until you have located the registry key for the application. In this example, the

registry key is SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0.

f. Set the value of the Detect field. For example:

<Detects>
<Detect
<hive>HKLM</hive>
<keyname>Software\Adobe|acrobat Reader\6.0<keyname>
</Detect
</Detects

6. Modify the name and version commands in the Install_Directories section.

7. Determine the path to the installation directories for the application.

a. From the Registry Editor window, navigate to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat

Reader\6.0\InstallPath node.

b. Add the appropriate command to the Install_Directories section of the application file. For example:

<Install_Directory>
<OS>WinXP</OS>
<Registry>
<hive>HKLM</hive
<keyname>Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\InstallPath</keyname>
<value>(Default)</value>
</Registry>
</Install_Directory>

Note: If you do not find an application-specific directory in the
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppPaths directory, you must locate a directory
that contains the installation path elsewhere in the HKLM\Software tree. Then, use that key in
the<Install_Directories> section

8. In the <Files_From Folders> section, specify the customization files you want to migrate.

a. Since many applications by default save files in the Documents and settings subdirectory, check the

Application data directory for directories that pertain to the application. If one exists, you can use the
following command to migrate the directory and files:

<Files_From_Folder>SMAvariable\Location\[File] [/s] </Files_From_Folder>
