It's likely that there are a few services not running that are required by the migration tool (it relies on the windows scripting host for some features, because it internally uses some VBScript for quick copying). I plan to rewrite the migration tool when I have time to avoid these issues, but that won't help you right now.

I suggest you make a manual copy of your profile data:
