to install them on Windows 10 and Windows 11.
The tools will be installed to %Localappdata%\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\nkdAgility.AzureDevOpsMigrationTools_Microsoft.Winget.Source_XXXXXXXXXX
and a symbolic link to devopsmigration.exe
that lets you run it from anywhere using devopsmigration init
.
NOTE: Do not install using an elevated command prompt!
topOption 2: Chocolatey
We also deploy to
Chocolatey
and you can use the command choco install vsts-sync-migrator
to install them on Windows Server.
The tools will be installed to C:\Tools\MigrationTools\
which should be added to the path. You can run devopsmigration.exe
Option 3: Manual
You can download the latest release and unzip it to a folder of your choice.
NOTE: You may need to ‘unlock’ the downloaded archive before you unzop and run. Go to the file properties (click show more options
