If you download a patch file, it will include ALL the files for previously patches of that version. So, if PL1 had files from the /install directory, then PL4 will also have those files.
Everyone makes mistakes I am sure it will be fixed in time
There is no mistake.
The 3.8.7 patch is Patch Level 4, which means it also contains all the relevant files for PL1, 2 & 3. One of those requires you to re-import those XML files.
If you are patching an older 3.8.7 board that is not currently at PL3, you will probably need them.
Just for the record, those files are also completely harmless if you upload them.
Also, on a side note, why does this patch have the same name as the 2012 patch (vb_patch387_VBxxxxxxx)
Because its the patch for 3.8.7 (the rest is your licence number).
The name of patch files does not change, you should always download the latest version when patching a site.
Removed license # from first post, never post your customer # or the license # if you own more than one license .
My bad, thank you for editing that.

Thank you for the explanation. It makes sense now.
