I have a new computer and would like to transfer certain progams from the old
to the new (both are running XP SP2). Can I simply move the program
directory for the particular software product over or do I need to go thru an
install process?

Thanks

By far the quickest way is to go through the install process.

Generally you need to install them.
Copying the directories does nothing for the numerous registry entries.
