Movemybooks work on a variety of hosted desktops. There is no requirement to install anything, but the extractor application will need to have permissions to run. Most of the time this isn’t an issue but if you’ve tried it and it doesn’t work then your hosting provider should be able to help and the Movemybooks support team will be happy to talk to them about it. If you can’t get the Movemybooks desktop extractor to work on your hosted desktop Movemybooks can complete the extraction for you if you provide the backup file – there is an option you can select when you migrate your data.
