is it correct to do the regular instructions
Upgrading from a previous version of vBulletin 3
Close your board via the Admin Control Panel.
Upload all files from the 'upload/' folder in the zip, with the exception of 'install/install.php'. Then open the 'upload/includes/' folder. In this you will find config.php.new. You should rename this to config.php and then open it in a text editor.
Open your browser and point the URL to http://<span style="color:red">www.e.../forum/</span>install/upgrade.php (where www.example.com/forums/ is the URL of your vBulletin). You should now be automatically forwarded to the appropriate upgrade script and step.
Follow the instructions on the screen. Make sure you click next step or proceed until you are redirected to your Admin Control Panel. Here, you can reopen your board.
For a complete description of how to upgrade from a previous version of vBulletin 3 to the latest version, see the upgrade section of the vBulletin 3 Manual.
Please note that the format for config.php in vBulletin 3.5.x is different from previous versions of vBulletin, and you will need to manually update your config file to the new format. Instructions are here.
but do it with the vb_patch387mapi patch at the same time (so basically take the files from the vb_patch387mapi archive, overwrite the local files from the regular patch (only 5 of them it appears), THEN upload everything to the server?
please advise
