Need advice for my 3.0.1 upgrade please

[sross]

Ok, there were around 64 core files changed according to vbulletin.com. I have a lot of hacks so I took those 65 files out of the 3.0.1 package, used araxis merge to update the 65 files from my old 3.0.0 board. Now, what I need to know is, do I have to run the install script or can I just copy over the updated files and be done?

and

If I do have to run the install script what is the best way. I am assuming I do the following:

copy the 65 new files to my old board, copy over the install folder to my old board, then run install?

Thanks for any advice guys!
