If i have already installed a program, can i just copy the entire program files folder to a cd??

Question

I downloaded Moon Tycoon, so can i just copy the folder to a cd, take it to another computer, paste folder in program files, and run it??

Answer 1

Usually not. It might work with some smaller programs, but most have various other files installed throughout the computer, in addition to complicated registry entries, etc.

If you can, installing properly is the most reliable way to get the program on the computer.
