Background:
I am almost ashamed to submit what is likely the smallest product ever released here on vBulletin.org. I created this very simple product file as I am about to release a major addition to vBulletin and because I wrote the script in 3.6.x. it was not going to be installable in 3.5.x. forums.
Now, there was nothing in my plugins or code that would make this not work in 3.5.x. forums other then the fact that my 3.6.x forums added the execution order to all of my plugins.
So, What does this do?
This will add a single field to your 3.5.x forums "plugin" table. This field is used in 3.6.x forums to allow 3.6.x forums to assign a specific order for plugins attached to the same hook to be executed.
Now, as long as the hack you are installing does not use any special 3.6.x code, adding this program will allow you to install SOME 3.6.x plugins and products on your 3.5.x forums without error.
I have tested this on three separate 3.5.x forums of my own and installed plugins and products exported from 3.6.x and it worked fie for me. Feedback is welcomed and again, I am embarrassed to have uploaded the smallest Product file to ever have been uploaded!
UPDATES
23-Dec-2006 8:00PM EST - Uploaded new product file that includes UNINSTALL code!
23-Dec-2006 9:15PM EST - Removed the uninstall code per advise having code to remove the execution order may do more harm then not having it in the code.

It shouldnt, because it wont try to create it unless it doesnt exist or it shouldnt at least. Basically if you were to upgrade it would skip that step.

If that happens, just delete the field. I should have included an uninstall code and I will get that added to the product file when I get a chance tonight.
As for the product, I call it vbclassified and the link is in my sig.
