New Computer Error Update Dreamweaver MX2004

Question

Two questions,
first is updating Dreamweaver to 7.0.1. Receiving error
message Dreamweaver is not installed. I've verified the location of
Dreamweaver MX2004 and even selected that folder. For some reason,
it's not seeing the program.
Second Question
Even tho I titled this new computer, it is only a new MB and
new HD. For some stupid reason I did NOT consider how I was going
to handle my DW files. All the data files are a direct copy to a
backup drive.
Drive 1 is not installed in any computer. It has the updated
Dreamweaver installed and my sites. It could be installed into the
new computer, but this is not the preference, as there will be
implications of the old OS on a new MB.
Drive 2 has a completely fresh load of DW {&XP} and copy
of data files off backup drive.
Drive 3 is the USB backup drive.
Once I get DW properly updated, how do I get it to properly
recognize my data and site?
Thank you!

That means it's already updated, since it's looking for 7.0
and only finding
7.0.1.

You would have to export your site definitions from your old
setup and
import them into your new setup. Or, failing that, you would
have to copy
your data files (the site files themselves) into a location
on your new hard
drive, and redefine your sites, each pointing to the proper
root folder on
the new system.
