Cannot run Sage 100 after migrating data from a Sage 100 installation into itself

Description

The only System data files (SY_*.M4T) files remaining in "..\MAS90\MAS_System" might be:

SY_ActivityLog.m4t

SY_System.m4t

SY_TaskSchedulerDetail.m4t

SY_TaskSchedulerHeader.m4t

SY_Workstation.m4t

Cause

The same installation of Sage 100 was used to migrate into itself. In other words, the Parallel Migration Wizard (migrate.exe) should have been run from the new/destination installed location, but was instead run from the old/source installed location. Doing so results in the loss of almost all system files in the "..\MAS90\MAS_System" directory.

Resolution

Possible Resoutlion

Restore from backup the contents of the entire "MAS90" directory, where the Parallel Migration Wizard was incorectly run.

Run the Parallel Migration Wizard from the new Sage 100 installation's "..\MAS90\Migration" folder, by right-clicking "Migrate.exe" to select "Run as Administrator" from the right-click pop-up menu.
