PIGGs folder and Windows 7

Hey, my wife just recently got a new, more powerful laptop and I started installing CoH on it earlier. I backed up my entire folder to a DVD and then, after letting her downloader run for 10 or so minutes, canceled out of that and copied the piggs folder over to speed up the process. I did notice that the piggs folder hadn't been created in her City of Heroes root folder, which I thought was weird seeing as how it had already downloaded several pigg files. After copying the files, I re-launched the updater and was dismayed to see the amount to be downloaded remained the same.

So, does the piggs folder install in the same place as it does in Vista? It should be in the root folder, right? Or, does the same method one uses for speeding up the test/beta server install not work on a fresh City install?

Thanks.

When I moved from XP to Win 7 I just copied the game files from one machine to anther and didn't have any problems. I'd just delete everything on your wifes machine and place everything you have on the DVD on her computer and update from there.

Worked like a charm, thanks. Didn't even think to use that thing called common sense :S
