How do I move Delphi XE packages and settings to a

Question

We have set up a new (template) development machine with among other things Delphi XE including a large number of third-party and internal packages, and intend to make a number of clones of this computer for the developers in our team. Note that we are not trying to bypass licensing, we (re-) activate/register Windows, Office, Delphi XE etc. after cloning. My problem is that when I am logged on (as myself) to the clone that will be my own machine, Delphi shows none of the packages we installed (i.e. on the the template machine, using a local Administrator account). Is there anyway I can find and copy/move the Delphi settings from the local administrator to my own user account, so that packages and other settings are the same as we set them up on the template machine before cloning?

I'd try to export the relevant registry keys - something like HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\BDS\5.0\Known Packages for D2007 (probably ..\Embarcadero\.. for XE). You can (carefully!) edit the *.reg file and re-import it.
