I've never really looked at this in detail, but for USB loggers I suspect
that the USB driver doesn't install into the main WL folder but elsewhere.
If this is true then simply copying the WL folder to a new PC (ie an xcopy
approach) probably won't give a functional installation because there won't
be communication with the logger.

Our old WMII looks for a serial port so I've had to use a serial to USB
converter. This required a driver but once installed, WL picks up the
correct Comm port with no problems. I use an old laptop dedicated to WL.
When it packed up, all I needed to do was to install DropBox on its
replacement, wait for it to synchronise with the cloud, install the
serial to USB driver, connect the WMII and it was back in business in
about ten minutes with no loss of current or historical data. Brilliant!

I suspect that copying the WL folder across to another computer could
worry the registry a bit. I wouldn't recommend it.
