Install or copy & paste folder?

[spanner]

I want to move my PnG folder across to my new hard drive now running win7, do i need to 'install' from original files or can i just copy and paste my old folder across?

[Legzy]

I may be stupid but I think the best way to do it, is to install again & then copy your old files over

[Mike Miller]

That is the way I do it Legzy. Install, then copy P&G root from old drive to new. Install is required to get registry entries in order.

ok thanks

Need to dig out those files..

Like to know how you get on - I chickened out after having GTL problems and reading that there seemed to be similar problems installing GTR 2 onto Windows 7.  I'm happy with XP performance and I had to do a completely new installation after experiencing problems racing.

Ps I realise you're in a different position with your dickey drive

OK, I have heard ( and read) a few things about PnG which have caused some response in and around the single brain cell that passes for intelligent life in my head.

As a hardened ( or is that fully softened??) GPL addict, the thought of wrestling a GT around some tarmac for a change might be fun.

So.....
a) what do I need?
b) where do i find it?

Some of you will know of my legendary reputation for screwing up things computer orientated, so don't expect to see any instant appearances.

(I have a GT legends disc , if that helps?)

Firstly have you got GTR2? you only need to pop your GTL disk in when loading P&G to confirm you own GTL.
P&G downloads are here http://gtlw-blog.flyingpig.info/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=98&Itemid=113
Grab the 3 parts of V2.0 first and stick them in a folder and install from there it will ask for the location of your  GTR2 installation you want to use for P&G, then download V2.1 and install that.
Before you start go into your new  P&G main folder and apply the terrain patch and force feedback patch, should be good to go.

Edit.. Dont forget the GTR2 lobby fix down at the bottom of the news archive on the right http://www.simbin.se/
