While it might work it will be missing registry entres
However you can install from the original disks and then copy over the folder
Then you don't need to patch aswell
I just got a new PC can i tranfer the whole STO folder over to my new PC or will i have to re download and install it?
I would like to tranfer it over it only takes 5-10 mins with USB3
Thanks

here's what you do:
1) Run the normal install.exe. (this will create the base directories and registry entries.
2) At the point where you connect and the client starts patching, cancel.
3) copy over your STO Live folder (and subfolder contents) into the Cryptic directory - (whever it was created on the new Hard Drive.) If it askis you if you want to replace any existing files/folders, select"Yes"
4) You should be good to go at this point - Log in and play.
