Custom XML Examples

Example 1: Migrating an unsupported application

The following template is a template for the sections that are needed to migrate applications. The template isn't functional on its own, but it can be used to write custom .xml file.

Example 2: Migrating the My Videos folder

The following sample is a custom .xml file named CustomFile.xml that migrates the Videos folder for all users, if the folder exists on the source computer.

  • Sample condition: Verifies that the Videos folder exists on the source computer:

    <condition>MigXmlHelper.DoesObjectExist("File","%CSIDL_MYVIDEO%")</condition>

  • Sample filter: Filters out the shortcuts in the Videos folder that don't resolve on the destination computer:

    <include filter='MigXmlHelper.IgnoreIrrelevantLinks()'>

    This filter has no effect on files that aren't shortcuts. For example, if there's a shortcut in the Videos folder on the source computer that points to C:\Folder1, that shortcut is migrated only if C:\Folder1 exists on the destination computer. However, all other files, such as .mp3 files, migrate without any filtering.

  • Sample pattern: Migrates the Videos folder for all users:

    <pattern type="File">%CSIDL_MYVIDEO%* [*]</pattern>

</migration>

Example 3: Migrating files and registry keys

The sample patterns describe the behavior in the following example .xml file.

  • Sample pattern: Migrates all instances of the file Usmttestfile.txt from all subdirectories under %ProgramFiles%\USMTTestFolder:

    <pattern type="File">%ProgramFiles%\USMTTestFolder* [USMTTestFile.txt]</pattern>

  • Sample pattern: Migrates the whole directory under %ProgramFiles%\USMTDIRTestFolder:

    <pattern type="File">%ProgramFiles%\USMTDIRTestFolder* []</pattern>

  • Sample pattern: Migrates all instances of MyKey under HKCU\Software\USMTTESTKEY:

    <pattern type="Registry">HKCU\Software\USMTTESTKEY* [MyKey]</pattern>

  • Sample pattern: Migrates the entire registry hive under HKLM\Software\USMTTESTKEY:

    <pattern type="Registry">HKLM\Software\USMTTESTKEY* []</pattern>
