Yes. There is no database involved. Just upload, allow overwrite. Check the options in the ACP.

Use the last xml product file (version 1.10) that I recently posted. I fixed that double "http" call.

How can we get it to open by default like on vbulletin.com ?
Even if we need to modify it manually?
