Move Delphi installation to a new computer

Hi
I have just had my PC upgraded by my company. I have Delphi 5 installed on my old PC with loads of components etc. installed in Delphi.
I am tring to setup my new PC to mirror the old, at least the Delphi side of it. Is it possible to easily move the orginal Delphi setup to the new PC.

So far I have installed Delphi from the orginal CD and applied the updates from Borlands web site. I then copied the complete c:\program files\borland subdirectory from the old to the new PC. All of the source files etc are in the same locations on the two PC's.
The old PC is running with Win98 the new with XP.

Any help would be great.
Thanks
Steve

Also Export this registry setting.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland

and then import it to the XP machine

and this one

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland

Now since you already installed Delphi you may not need these settings but export them any way because you may find a few settings haven't been entered into the XP regisrty yet.
