Summary

Import Agent 8/9 does not automatically detect existing Import Agent 7 profiles during the upgrade process. Profile settings for both Import Agent 7 and Import Agent 8/9 are stored in the Windows Registry.

See the following list of main differences between Import Agent 7 and Import Agent 8/9 profile registry settings:

• On 32-bit computers, Import Agent 8/9 stores settings under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Laserfiche\Import Agent 8."
• On 64-bit computers, Import Agent 8/9 stores settings under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Laserfiche\Import Agent 8."
• Import Agent 8/9 profiles use the Laserfiche 8 token name format, %(Token) instead of $Token$.

More Information

The following VBScript file is a tool that automatically reads the registry for your existing Import Agent 7 profile settings and creates copies of the profiles for Import Agent 8/9.

By default, the script assumes that Import Agent 8 is installed on the same computer as Import Agent 7. If Import Agent 8/9 is installed on a different computer, the script includes an option to create a .reg file. You can then run the .reg file on the computer with Import Agent 8/9 to create the needed registry settings.

Warning: Incorrectly editing the registry may adversely affect your system. Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if a problem occurs.
