can an application be transferred?

's Computer Specifications

Dear Friends,

I need to re-install XP and my applications on a clean drive, but I have a
few applications that I cannot get anymore, because I lost the disk, or
because they are not available for download anymore. Is there a way to
transfer an already installed application, from one drive to another drive,
or from one PC to another PC?

Thank you,
Talal Itani

No.

Sometimes. Some only need the Program Files folder copied. Others
require some registry settings also transferred. And others require some
files (DLL) from the System32 folder copied over.

Here is one program that claims to do it. Laplink Software's PCmover.. I
haven't used it so I can't recommend it one way or the other.
