Default 13 March 2014 Patch Question - Install Folder
The latest patch (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...x-of-vbulletin) includes an install folder. Am I supposed to do anything with those files? They're all xml files (3 of them) so I wasn't sure if I'm supposed to import them via the admin cp.

Also, on a side note, why does this patch have the same name as the 2012 patch (vb_patch387_VBxxxxxxx)?

You can remove the install folder, no need for it if you are just patching a current version.

There is no install directory in the patch. You must have downloaded the full package.

He might have downloaded the full files instead of just the patch.

You may have downloaded the full package and all the files too instead of just the patch.

It could be the Illuminati!

Good observation noticing the names! I have already added this patch to 4 sites and never once looked at the letters in the name nor at the older ones.

Thank you all for the quick responses.

I re-downloaded the patch and confirmed it has an install directory. The 2012 version also had the install directory with the same 3 xml files.

If anyone has an active license and wants to confirm this, please do so. I'm showing 3 xml files in that folder, which I thought was odd. Just to clarify, this is 3.8.7 PL4.

I realize this was just a file replacement patch, so there's no install per-se. However, I found it odd that those "extra" files were included in an install folder.

Thanks again for the help.

#My bad-I just checked the 3.8 version and there is an install directory. I was talking about 4.2 originally.

Especially as you are constantly reminded to remove the install folder to prevent it being exploited!

Wonder why they would release it as such?, seems a little odd.
