Our forum is already running 5.1.6. To install PL1 do I just upload the files in the /upload folder minus the install folder, or do I need to re-run the install script?
Quick question- installing PL1 for 5.1.6

Usually it is the upgrade script (upgrade.php) you want to run, if you are installing an upgrade. However the announcement does not say that it is neccessary in this case, so you should be fine by just uploading the new files/overwriting the old files. -
Usually you install patches by just overwriting the existing files. That's it. In some rare cases, you would need to run some script (but not install or upgrade) or back up the database if mentioned in the announcement. You only run upgrade if you are required to upgrade to a later version first before applying the patch.Comment

by BarkyJHello,
Installing patches - it states to simply copy of the files to the FTP and thats about it, no need to run scripts.
So why is there the core/install folder included with the scripts...-
