Create Package of Packages for transferring to new PC?


Recommended Posts

I am setting up a new Windows PC and would like to "mirror" all my VI Package manager packages installations on that computer from an existing computer. I've searched and found a few articles stating to manually copy *.ogp and *.vip package files from the "C:\ProgramData\JKI\VIPM\cache" directory to the new PC. Is this the "official" way to do this? This seems there should be a cleaner way, like creating a package of packages.  Is this possible? I am using VIPM 2024 Free Edition. If I select "Build Packages" and select Create New, the dialog asks for a source directory. If I point it to a an empty folder then click next I get another dialog for VI Package Builder. It looks like I can click on Package Dependencies and manually add the existing packages, one by one. Will this work? Is there a way to select the installed packages and create a single package from it? That way I can copy that file to the other PC and click it to install all of them at once.
