It doesn't really work that way. When you install a program it modifies the registry, so it not just a collection of files.
If I were you I'd back up the installation file and all of your data files on your external drive. That way if you ever have a crash you have everything you need to re-install on a new machine or new hard drive.

RE: ResScan CPAP Reporting Software (current version: 4.1)
Thanks for your info, Paula and Sleepster. It seems that you're both describing similar reasons for the error(s) of my original idea. Although I don't yet know what a registry is, it does sound like a definite problem. Meanwhile, I believe I have found (i.e., stumbled upon) and copied over to my external HD the download file. When I put the cursor over it, it's described as "Setup Launcher." It's 95MB, described as Application of ResScan 3.16 for ResMed S9 Elite, which was my first machine before I made the trade for an AutoSet. It's icon is different than that of the program itself. When I double click on it, I get the usual Windows warning asking if I'm sure I want to subject my computer to this unknown source. I haven't gone further than that because I don't want to mess up the program already doing nicely in the computer.
So, does it sound to you like I have the file needed to download the ResScan application, which is what you suggest I keep on my backup drive just in case?

Just out of curiosity, couldn't you just make a system restore point prior to installation, then if the installation borks your PC, use System Restore after the fact to restore the PC to the pre-software install status?

RE: ResScan CPAP Reporting Software (current version: 4.1)
That might be possible, Super. I've had to do a system restore once after a Windows update messed up the entire desktop, but I'm wary enough of the possibility of "borking" my computer to resist that urge right now.

Hi, I'm a new member and would like to download ResScan 4.1 software. I have tried to do this via the links in the member's area but it appears that these links no longer work. I have tried both 3.16 & 4.1 versions but to no avail.
Could someone please help me and direct me to a current link where I am able to download this software. Many thanks.

Welcome to Apnea Board, TigerBoy!
There is no software download link to ResScan in the Private Files & Links Forum, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
What
is in that Private Files & Links Forum, (
CLICK HERE) is directions on how you can obtain the download link
via email request only. We don't allow the direct link to ResScan to be posted on the forums - you have to ask for it via email by following the instructions in that thread.
I just tried both links that are being sent out via email and they both work fine. If you're having trouble downloading the files, I'd suggest doing so at a time of day when your local Internet provider is not busy - like very early in the morning or very late at night.
Good luck.

RE: ResScan CPAP Reporting Software (current version: 4.1)
Thank you SuperSleeper for your very speedy reply - much appreciated
I forgot to mention in my previous message that I did manage to obtain the links to ResScan 4.1 via email from the Private Files & Links Forum. I received them but somehow they did not work. I again tried the link today and this time it worked
I have now downloaded my sleep data to ResScan 4.1 and everything looks OK so far, but will need to learn a little more about it before I can comment on it further.
Thanks again for your help.
RE: ResScan CPAP Reporting Software (current version: 4.1)
I'm new here and installed and used the ResScan 3.16 software without any problems. I wish to post a big THANK YOU for making it possible going the way to a major patient.
Best regards from good old Germany
