would a transfer of the game from xp to vista computer work?

I bought Sins online and have it running on a xp machine but i want to transfer it to a vista machine.

The vista machine does not have the internet but is capable of running it better than the xp machine. So can i just copy the game folders and paste them in the right place under vista or would i have to fork out for the boxed version for the vista machine because it will not be connected to the net for a while

thanks for any help

Maybe. You wouldn't get the registry entries, though.

I do believe that you can transfer by by somehow archiving with Impulse on your XP, then installing Impulse on the other machine to read said archive, (Or something like that...) but I don't know the specifics.

To get the download version of the game (or the patch for a retail copy) up and running on an offline machine:

Right click on the game in SDC, and choose Archive Application->Selected Application to pack it up without redownloading.

When the archive process finishes, you'll find the .sdc file(s) in C:\Program Files\Stardock\Stardock Central\BACKUP (this path is customizable in SDC's settings so it may vary). Copy the .sdc files along with the SDC installer to the portable media of your choice (CDR, DVDR, USB drive, etc).

On the other computer, install SDC, then double-click the .sdc archive files in explorer to unpack them.
