How to restore a Windows Easy Transfer file from a 64bit machine to a 32bit machine?
- by Kevin Davis
Using a 32bit laptop, I saved my settings etc. using "Windows Easy Transfer" from the Win7 RC.
I set the file destination to a Win2K R2 machine that happened to be 64bit.
When I re-installed my laptop and tried to restore my settings from the file I'd saved I was surprised to get an error: "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from a 64-bit computer to a 32-bit computer."
Is there a known workaround? Ideas on how to unpack the file and get my stuff?
