Easy Transfer not transferring User Profiles

Guest

When I ran the Windows Easy Transfer Companion (WETC) from an XP Pro to a
Vista Business, the programs transferred over fine but none of the user
profiles did. During the inital WETC on the XP, it never asked what to
transfer - it just listed the programs it was transferring. I've was going
to try running it again (against MS recommendation) but I still don't get any
opportunity to select what I want transferred. It now just gives me the key
to enter into the new Vista computer and does not even list programs let alon
user profiles.
Does anyone know how to transfer user profiles from XP to Vista if WETC
won't do it?

WETC will not transfer user profiles - it only migrates applications - you
should try using windows easy transfer - (WET) - this tool will migrate your
user profiles, settings, and data -

It does not appear to be available anymore. Since it was pre-release
software there is no way to tell if the project was scrapped or a release
candidate or rtm version will still appear. All links to the Download
Details page that I can find are disabled and have been for several weeks.
At this point don't plan on using it. In the meantime I will check with
some sources and report back if there is anything definitive to report.
