Move Virtual Weather Station To One Computer To Another (Or One Drive To Another)

  1. Copy the entire \vws directory from one computer (or drive) to another. To simplify the installation, copy all of the contents to the same pathname (for example, if VWS is installed on c:\vws on one computer, copy the directory to c:\vws on the other computer).
  2. Install Virtual Weather Station from your CD or Virtual Weather Station Download Center and install into the same directory as created on the new computer.
  3. If you install Virtual Weather Station into a different directory, there are several additional steps.
    1. Select Settings | Multiple Station Settings and select Recall Existing Station. Browse to the new directory location on the new computer. For example, if you install it into the c:\vws drive, browse to the c:\vws drive.
    2. There are several customized file paths you will need to change. Select the following windows from the menubar and change to valid directory locations.
    3. Settings | CSV Export
    4. Settings | Jpeg File Settings
    5. Settings | WeatherVoice
    6. Settings | WeatherCentral Settings
    7. Internet | HTML Settings
    8. Internet | Upload File
    9. Internet | Upload Folder

    If you copied the files from one computer to a CD and then to the other computer in Step (1), this sets all of the copied files to “read only”. To change this, on the new computer, right click on the \vws directory, select Properties and uncheck the read only check box.

    Note that you will not have to re-enter your registration number.
