Actually, looking at the App mover notes, I noticed a phrase they used, referring to it as not being an "installation discovery tool". I have a feeling that something like that would be what I want. Is there such thing as an installation discovery tool, and if so, where cna I find it?
Application Mover is not an 'installation discovery tool'. It does not attempt to discover file references your program may have to files outside of the Current Path field in the Application Mover main dialog.
I don't know if such a program type exists... but if any does exist, it would be another application mover type of program.
What I understand by that note; Is that Application Mover does not attempt to find
file types anywhere else than the application path (or folder). In other words; Files that are opened with the moved application, located anywhere else than the app's folder.
EDIT:
I had used Application Mover before and it always worked though I only moved simple programs and not many of them.. but now with Windows 10 App Mover doesn't work the same... I tried moving three apps and all of them failed.. the app did not create registry keys.. Must be due to Windows 10's tougher security. If you have Windows 10, that would be the answer.. on Windows 8.1 it would probably be the same result... and if you have Windows 7, that would be unusual. You may want to try from Safe Mode running the program As Administrator... maybe temporarily relaxing some security permissions. Now that I recall I did see a message about not having permissions to make registry changes but this was on Windows 10 so that's normal.
