Does bundle software have setup file stored anywhere?

[Guest]

Out downstairs computer came bundled with several InterVideo products (DVD
Player and Creator) and I was hoping to transfer them to my computer upstairs
I copied the program files and installed them into the program files folder
on my upstairs computer but for some reason they were missing certain files.

Yes.

- they are not licensed for the 'computer upstairs'...
- you need the installation media - you cannot usually just *copy* a
directory and get it to work.

Purchase said products and get the associated license and media needed to
run them on the 'computer upstairs' and install them appropriately.

Two points:

1) What you're attempting to do is very likely a violation of the
software's license. This is otherwise known as piracy and/or theft.

2) You need to install the software using the original installation
medium. It can't just be copied. If it's a standard WinXP-compatible
application, there'll be dozens of hidden systems files and an untold
number of registry entries that would also have to be transferred.
