I am trying to move a highly customized installation of Netos to another computer (from Win7 to Win10). I started by using an ISO image to install a clean 7.5.2 into the new Win 10 computer — seems like everything is working. Then I copied my existing Win7 C: etos75 folder to the new computer to replace the clean one. Then I copied my existing Win7 \Digi\_ESP folder to the new computer to replace the clean one. When I started ESP, it complained that the Package Manager database did not exist, and created a new one. The list of packages is now totally out of sync with what’s actually installed. Since this DB is obviously not in etos75 nor in \Digi\_ESP, I looked around, but see no obvious location for it to be in. Nothing looks obvious in \ProgramData. Can the package database be copied to the new computer? Thanks. — greg ---

Ah – must have been in workspace /.metadata. After moving that over, the package manager appears to be in the same state as the source computer. — greg
