The first 4 I don't think will help at the moment.
BUT, the 5th one: setup_nwc2_nwc175cd exe 13- 05-2009 might be what you need. This is actually a very important file for you if it's what I think it is. You said you've installed V1.75 from CD, I think this one is the upgrade from V1.75 to an early V2. It may ask you to insert the V1.75 CD during the install process for verification purposes.
If I'm correct this will get a V2 copy installed, which should then be upgradeable online to the current version.
After install try to do an online upgrade. (launch NWC2, click Help, then click "Access noteworthycomposer.com"). This should take you a page where you can download an upgrade file to the current V2.75a.2. If this doesn't work try installing each of the files you've found in date order, doing the upgrade check between each one until you find one that the upgrade works from.
Don't install the demo you found, it has limited functionality (though I don't remember what the limitations are).
For information, this: nwc2 exe 01-09-2017 is the actual NWC program itself. You can't simply copy it over as there are essential registry updates that must happen, as well as other ancillary directories and files that must be added.
Thank you for your help. I can find some of the directories and files you mention:
On the old computer I have in the Setups-directory these files: nwcupd_from_v2.5.4 exe 05-04-2014 nwcupd_from_v2.51.0 exe 04-06-2014 nwcupd_from_v2.51.1 exe 02-02-2016 nwcupd_from_v2.75 exe 28- 11-2017 setup_nwc2_nwc175cd exe 13- 05-2009 setup_nwc21_upg exe 30-04-2010 setup_nwc25_upg exe 08-05-2012
In the NoteWorthy Composer 2 directory I have the file nwc2 exe 01-09-2017
The executable setup_nwc275a.exe I cannot find. But there is a file LICENSE.RTF with the USER LICENSE AGREEMENT in it.

Hi, It's not clear if you were using Version 2.x on the old computer.
If you were using version 2, then look under (on the old computer): For 32 bit Windows: "C:\Program Files\Noteworthy Software\NoteWorthy Composer 2\Setups" OR For 64 bit Windows: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Noteworthy Software\NoteWorthy Composer 2\Setups"
You should find an executable file called "setup_nwc275a.exe" or similar - the version part might be different. This file can be used to install NWC2 to your new computer.

Until now I am starting Noteworthy Composer on a small Samsung Notebook. This system is very slow, so I bought a moderner laptop. Now I have installed my 1.75 version from CD on this new laptop. But how I must continue when I want to upgrade? My problem is, that I do not possess a billing card any more! Am I able to pay the new version with Ideal?

If neither of you experts can think of a case where you wouldn't want transposition, then it seems silly to add an option to enable/disable it. Look for an update shortly.

If it's easy to implement the option for GuitarChord.ms then it's probably worth doing.
I'm also inclined to agree that in this case the new parameter should be unchecked by default as IMHO having playback match the transposition is far more likely to be desired than otherwise.
In fact, I can't think of a scenario where object playback should not include staff transposition, it makes no sense to me.

So, it is up to @NoteWorthy Online to decide if he wants to make this change to the object official. I can see that there could be circumstances in which might not be desirable to transpose the playback (such as when Ottavamatic.ms is being used). For GuitarChord.ms, I was considering an additional checkbox parameter "Prevent transposed playback" which, when checked, would disable the new behavior. While I normally try to implement a new parameter with backward compatibility, I think it makes more sense for this to have a default value of unchecked, so that transposed playback is on by default. I would be interested in your opinions as to whether this makes sense, or if an additional parameter is even needed.
