Afternoon all.

I'm trying to manage my Hero Lab installs over several PC's in my house and finding an issue with creating identical installs. (so far, I have Hero Lab on my laptop, my main triple screen PC and the PC that runs my gaming table; I've been thinking of getting an iPad as well but with the recent announcement regarding Dropbox, I'm reconsidering this)

When I first got Hero Lab, I went a little crazy and installed all kinds of add ons like the community pack and gestalt and others I don't remember. The issue I'm finding is that I can't figure out what all those add ons are to replicate the main install on my other machines. As a result, I am getting incompatibility errors when trying to load *.por files on the newer installs.

Is there an easier way to do this?

Any .hl files you've added will have registered themselves in a list that's kept in Tools...Manage Third Party Updates - that's where I'd start, when comparing the lists of what's on each computer. However, if you added anything just as .user files that you moved into the correct folder, there isn't a tool to help with that.

Thanks, I'll give that a try when I get home.

This is what I do. I have folder cloning software that I use on my laptop that makes sure the HL "data" folder is exactly the same as a my desktop.

I guess like me its a little out of date but its called "Folder Clone". I got a license like 15 years ago and it still works on Win10 x64. So I was like great I will use that. I have it set on manual and before I leave the house I run several "game" syncs and several gaming folders are synced with my desktop.

Not fancy but its "easy" and I like "easy".
