I have 3.5.4 with quite a few modifications, some installed correctly, some not. Some uninstalled incorrectly, or could not be uninstalled.

I would like to create a clean 3.6.2 vB, then "import" the 3.5.4 data only.

What would be the simplest way?

Install fresh vB 3.6.2
Create new empty DB
import 3.5.4 DB to 3.6.2 DB? <--- How?
Thanks.

Yes using ImpEx to import the data would work well. You can find instructions on using ImpEx (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/impex) in the online manual.

Thank you. So do I need to export with Impex first at 3.5.4, then import with Impex to new install (now 3.6.3)?

1. Install the 3.6.3 version
2. Install ImpEx
3. Import the 3.5.4 data to the new 3.6.3
