You don't need to run Impex to upgrade to 3.5, infact this is a great way to possibly screw up an installation and requires alot of work that can be avoided.

As 3.5 is not stable yet I'm not even sure if there is a upgrade path from vB 2.x, I would check but I don't have a 2.x database to test it on and can't be bothered to create one. Asuming you can't go directly to 3.5 from 2.x with the included upgrade script then you would need to do the following:

1. Download the latest copy of 3.0.x and 3.5.x beta from the members area
2. Close vB 2.x forum
3. Delete vB 2.x files from server
4. Upload 3.0.x files
5. Run upgrade script from 3.0.x
6. Delete 3.0.x files
7. Upload 3.5.x beta files
8. Run upgrade script
9. Verify forum is working correctly and open board
