Unless, it's a fully contained application that runs from an exe with no
setup required, the application is likely not properly installed on the
laptop and is probably the source of the issue. In other words, regardless
of what you copied, if this application had a setup or installation routine,
even if it doesn't install all files in order to save disk space, that
routine is required to properly install and register the application.
