Got a new PC and planning to move Cumulus...

Is there any guidance available re moving Cumulus to a new PC and, at the same, time keep the existing data, configuration files etc.

Yep, it's very easy http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Moving_cumulus

I just moved my cumulus set-up to a new computer.

All I did was copy the cumulus folder and all its contents to a memory stick.
Then I copied the folder and all its contents from the memory stick to the required destination on the new computer.
Cumulus works perfectly from the new location and the move was a lot simpler and quicker than the method at http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Moving_cumulus
Have I missed some subtle point which will come back and bite me later ?

Just copying the entire folder hierarchy works fine, if you know what you're doing. Not running the installer means that you don't get a shortcut created, and there's no install information created in Windows, so any future upgrades wouldn't know where your existing installation was.

Setting up the new PC has been rather slower than I planned so have only just returned for the answer... Many thanks to all.
