Yes.

I wouldn't think so, since that would overwrite... well... ALL of files.

Exactly. So what?

But ...
b) which vb4.2.2 files do I need to upload (assuming not ALL of them)?

All of them.

a) where do I need to put my vb4.2.2 files ?

Wherever you have your forum running. You overwrite the old files.

Quote:

c) And - how does the upgrade script know where to pull them from

It does not "pull" any files. It upgrades the database, not the files.

Probably a basic question, but I don't see a simple answer to this.
THANKS !

It is simple. You're making it more complicated than it is.

BTW: There's a readme file in the package you downloaded. It explains the upgrade process just as well as the user's manual.

It is good practice to upgrade a test installation first, and don't forget to delete your install folder after upgrading.
