Hi

I bought an SD card today and was wondering if there is an easy way to transfer all the installed software from ppc to the SD card.

Is there a utility that can do this. Please help.

I don't believe there is an easy way to do that. During installation, several settings are recorded into the registry that pertain to the location of certain key files. Also, your start menu links point to the executables. As you can see, any program available would have to change all of these settings. Since the way settings are stored vary between applications, I personally wouldn't trust a program that attempted to do what you are asking for.

Here's what I suggest. Backup your device first. Then hard reset it, and reinstall all the applications. Once you are done, backup your storage card onto your computer (there's always a chance that your storage card can become corrupt).

only some simple programs that even dont have installation files can be simply copied to card.
