I tried to "Export Settings" in BI3 and "Import Settings" in BI4 but received Error 1017.

What do I need to do?
 
Did you uninstall BI3?

For anyone else, you should install bi 4 before uninstalling 3...it will pull all you settings...when you uninstall 3, you need to select NO when it asks you to delete the settings.
 
I did not uninstall BI3. I need to transfer all settings from BI3 on one machine to BI4 on another.
I should have been more clear.
 
Ok..that error may be a permissions error..make sure you are logged in as admin on the new machine...
 
Permissions... good idea, but too late in my case.
I gave up and rebuilt. It was a good exercise, I suppose.
I'm sure your reply will be helpful to others. Thank's very much.
 
I received this message from Ken at Blue Iris Support:

"The file is not compatible with 4. You can only import a version 3 settings file by double clicking it in windows ... like you did with version 3 days.Sorry for the misunderstanding there ..."


I take this to mean that the export setting sin BI3 will not import into BI4 and therefore one cannot migrate camera settings from BI3 to BI4.

I havent tested it, but i think he means that you can still import the settings by simply clicking on the file, rather than importing it..it will make the proper changed to the registry.
