Installing Migration Manager on a new Machine
If Migration Manager has already been installed and configured by Migration Manager’s installation team and you now wish to install Migration Manager on additional machines, you can do so by running the Migration Manager Installer.
Downloading the installer via an existing Migration Manager application
If you have a machine already running Migration Manager, you can download the installation exe from that machine which will place the exe in your shared installations folder. This will save downloading it again if you are installing MM on multiple new machines.
If you have not yet done so, use the Install on another computer function to create a new Install Program. Once this has been created, you can use this installer to install Migration Manager on as many machines as you like.
Create the Installer
From an existing Machine, select Help, then Install on another computer.
Migration Manager will download the installer, then place the installer executable in the ‘Installation’ sub-folder of your Migration Manager folder storage. For example:
MigrationManager\Installation\MigrationManagerClientCloudReinstall.exe.
When this task is complete, a message will appear showing the location. Click OK to close the window.
The installer will be built with your current version of Migration Manager packaged. You can now use this installer as many times as you like, however if it has been some time since you have used the installer, you may wish to create it again, so it is built with the latest/your current version.
Downloading the Installer directly to the new machine
If you don't have another machine running MM to download the installer from, you can download it directly.
The installer can be directly downloaded from:
https://vpslb.migrationmanager.com.au/onlinemm/installers/MigrationManagerClientCloudReinstall.exe
Running the installer
You can now run the installer from the new machine.
Before running the installer, your Migration Manager folder must be available on the new machine. Therefore:
- If your Migration Manager folder resides in File Cloud Storage (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive etc), then this cloud software must be installed (and synced) on the new machine before you begin the next step.
Note: If your Migration Manager file storage resides in the Cloud, you may need to wait a short time for the install file to sync to the new machine.
1. Run the installer exe
If you downloaded the installer from MM on another machine:
On the new machine, go to the ‘Installation’ sub-folder of your Migration Manager folder, then run the MigrationManagerClientCloudReinstall.exe.
If you downloaded the installer directly from the download shortcut:
Run the MigrationManagerClientCloudReinstall.exe from your Downloads folder.
2. Agree to Terms
Click “I Agree ….”, then click Next.
3. System Check
The installer will check to ensure your system is ready and that all the required companion programs are installed. If it fails on any of these points, correct the issue (example: install a required program), then click Refresh to re-run the check. Once all components pass, you can click Next.
4. Select the location of your Migration Manager folder
Click the Browse button and select the location of your Migration Manager folder (maybe called LEAPMM). This could be a location such as Dropbox or Google Drive, or could be a Mapped Drive such as M:\.
What your Migration Manager folder should look like:
If you have selected the correct path, the installer will say 'Selected installation directories are valid'
5. Then click Install
The Installer will now run.
6. Close
When complete, click Close. You can also leave the option ticked for Launch Migration Manager and Migration Manager will automatically start when the installer closes. The Installer will also create a shortcut on the new machine's Desktop for the Migration Manager application.
