Resolution

Change the install drive/directory of APG without uninstalling SRM for Windows.

Navigate to the APG/bin folder

1. Run manage-module.cmd service stop all
2. manage-module.cmd service status all >Services.txt

3. Open and view the Services.txt and copy it to a safe location. Unregister the services mentioned in Services.txt one by one using the below command

manage-module.cmd service remove   xxxxxx-xxxxx xxxxx

For example if the services.txt has the below entries:

* Checking 'backend Default'...                                     [ running ]

The command will be  manage-module.cmd service remove   backend Default

Perform this for all registered services. (refer Services.txt)

4. Move the APG folder to the target location. Note down the changes in the path.

Example Original Location C:\Program Files\APG
New target location:- D:\Program Files\APG

5. Copy the following files/folders to safe location

APG\bin\apg.properties
APG\Tools\Module-Manager\1.x\Data

Make a note of Original Location of the APG folder.

6. Modify APG\bin\apg.properties with the new location of APG folder.

Navigate to each folder of APG\Tools\Module-Manager\1.x\Data and look for INSTALL file.
Open the file and modify the path to new location.

Workaround: (To change C:\ volume to D:\ volume)
Download and extract a utility called fart.exe to the current APG\Tools\Module-Manager\1.x\Data

Download link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fart-it/files/latest/download

Run the following command from
APG\Tools\Module-Manager\1.x\Data
D:\Program Files\APG\Tools\Module-Manager\1.xx\data> fart.exe -rC * D: C:
This will find and replace the C: to D:

7. Open regedit and modify the following: (important for future upgrades and uninstall)

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\APG
Change the Value data of Path no new location

Example
Original Path C:\Program Files\APG
New Path D:\Program Files\APG

Perform the below for below key values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\APG
DisplayIcon  C:\Program Files\APG\uninstall.exe
UninstallString  C:\Program Files\APG\uninstall.exe

8. Register all the services back using the following commands.Navigate to the \APG\bin folder in command prompt.
Refer the Services.txt and register one by one.

Example:
\APG\bin>manage-modules.cmd service install webservice-gateway Default
* Installing service 'webservice-gateway Default'...              [ installed ]

Register all the services.

7. Then run

manage-module.cmd service status all

Make sure the output matches with Services.txt

manage-module.cmd service start all
manage-module.cmd service status all (All services should be started and running)

This completes the Migration of the APG install location without re-install.
