I managed to download the 1.2 game version while at work, and found the Frontier Developments folder in AppData. I'm wondering now - can I copy the data files (sans configuration) to the install on my home machine and have the patcher recognize the files that are now up to date?
1.2 patch: Can I copy data files from one game install to another?

- Start date
I've done it before to speed the install of my dad's computer (I bought him a copy). Be sure to rename it to the directory name the installer wants it to be. It seems the installer likes to generate numbers of the install directory either based off of the user name or the computer (dunno which).
I copied some of the internal directories over - Audio and Items under Win32, which seemed to be the largest part of the install. The patcher appears to be stuck on "Download Manifest" which I assume also includes checking all of the file versions... Or it crashed
