This is entirely possible and even the MP2 website says it’s possible, you just have to contact them for the “fix” and then they want you to pay for it.  Well fuck that.  Here’s what I did, and it worked.  I copied the entire MP2 folder from the Program Folders on the old PC to the new one.  I found ddao36.dll in the original installation source and copied it to C:\Windows\SysWow64.  Opened a command prompt and did: cd \windows\syswow64, then: regsvr32 c:\ddao36.dll.  Cleared the “error” that popped up (I don’t recall the verbiage ATM), and created a shortcut on the desktop to the MP2.exe file.  Double clicked it and BAM!  Hopefully it works for you too and you can save some cash.

You can thank me later,
