I am assuming you are trying to get your *.sai file and *.saj folder installed on this particular computer to run under Sage 50 2022.  I am also assuming you installed the proper update from the original 2022.0 based on what you were using on the old computer.

I would have backed up the file from the old computer, moved the resulting *.cab file to the new computer and then opened Sage 50 and selected Restore from backup.  Then follow the prompts to locate the *.cab file and select the location and filename if you wish to change it, to restore it to the new computer.

Thanks a lot, can you also share, how to upload multiple files together?

I am installing it for the first time. The installation is part of my Sage 50 Accounting course. I have been able to install the application. Now I am required to download and install the data files. "Premium Version Full Files", and "Premium Version Backup Files.  Thanks again for your help.

The given instructions say,

"Before you begin the applications, you must download the data to your hard drive. The website has full Sage 50 data files and Sage 50 backup files for Premium users; Pro version files are provided only in Sage 50 backup format. All files on the website are compressed ZIP files that must first be extracted. The full data files are large and will take longer to extract. Each version of the data set includes a program (Load_Files.BAT) that will move the data from your downloaded location to the SageData22 folder on your hard drive (drive C:), the working location we use throughout the text."

I have been able to download and extract both the zip folder but the problem happens when I run the respective batch file. 

Without knowing what the Load_Files.bat does, I can't say what might be wrong.  However, you can manually restore each backup as I indicated above, or you can use Windows Explorer to extract the full data files to the location of your choice eg. the SageData22 folder.  It is likely already created now.

In Windows Explorer you can double-click the zip file and it will open as if it was a folder on your computer.  There will be options for Extract, etc. on the menu.

Thanks again. As I mentioned earlier extraction is not an issue, running the batch file is. As both zipped folders have some files of the same name, manual movement deletes the previously moved/copied files. Running the batch file gives the error or denies access. I have tried it on two different computers and faced the same problem.

Here are the some details

List of Files in the Premium Full folder

List of Files in the Premium Back Folder

Premium Full Batch File

echo The data files will be copied to C:\SageData22\
echo Copying files ... Please be patient

move .\SageData22 C:\
WSCRIPT.EXE c:\SageData22\confirmation.vbs
echo Done!
echo
echo The data files are in C:\SageData22\
exit

Premium Backup Batch File

echo The data files will be copied to C:\SageData22\
echo Copying files ... Please be patient

move .\SageData22 C:\
WSCRIPT.EXE c:\SageData22\confirmation.vbs
echo Done!
echo
echo The data files are in C:\SageData22\
exit

I hope this will help you better understand

The batch file looks like it is supposed to copy the files from your downloads, to the c:\SageData22 folder.  It then looks for the Confirmation.vbs file in the same folder.  I don't know what it does but it might check that all files are moved properly.

If the files get moved properly, it should work.

However, you can do this manually yourself.  Go up one level to SageData22 and select the folder and click Copy on the menu.  Then go to the c:\ drive and click Paste.

Following is the script of the Confirmation.vbs file:

WScript.Echo( "Installed files can be found in" & vbCrLf & "C:\SageData22" )

One more thing: when I manually copy the contents of the SageData22 folder under the Premium_Backup folder, I get the following message. I am not sure why the Premium_Full folder and Premium_Backup folder, both have the same folder i.e.: "SageData22."

This script is irrelevant because it only shows you that the job is done.  There just may be a setting on your computer that is preventing the vbs script from running because these scripts are a way that some viruses were created years ago.

I've been under the assumption that you are still attempting to get the files to the location you need them to start your course.  Without knowing the full path of SageData22 to SageData22 indicated in your message, I would just assume that the files already are in the location you need them.  So have you tried to open the files from the location they are supposed to be?

I don't know as I have never seen your course and do not know the logic.  However what I see is that it is identifying that they are the data files for the 2022 version, one for the live files and one for the backup files.
