You've now got version 2, but how to get all those profiles out of version 1 over to your new version 2 setup?  You can export your profiles out of v1, one by one, and then import them into v2 (zzzzzzz bleh), or you can take the express route and have the data files copied for you.

Included in your installation folder is a .bat file named 'Copy Version 1 Data Files To Version 2.bat'.  This (usually) is located in C:\Program Files\VoiceAttack2

Running this .bat will first look to see if you have any existing version 1 data files.  If you do indeed have version 1 data files, those files will be copied over into your VoiceAttack version 2 data folder (%APPDATA%/VoiceAttack2).

WARNING
Executing this process will overwrite any progress you have made with version 2 data, so you'll probably want to do this right after a fresh installation of version 2.  If you already have progress with version 2 and decide to overwrite your existing version 2 data files, the data files will be backed up into a folder called 'Upgrade' within your data folder (%APPDATA%/VoiceAttack2\Upgrade).   If you do not wish to overwrite your v2 files, exporting from v1 and importing into v2 is your only route.

NOTE:  The registered version of VoiceAttack is required for this to complete (due to the single profile limitation of the trial edition).

Hope that helps!
