Is it best to build from scratch a new store, import the db, and do the db upgrade or will that not work because he's so far out of date? Would I have to step through db upgrades through major versions?

Yes, when I do upgrades I usually rebuild the site's customizations onto a new site, import-and-upgrade-the-db, and go from there.
Additionally, there are lots of upgrade-related tips and answered questions at https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/upgrading/
The upgrade process has been tested back to 1.3.8, but be sure to look in the logs/ folder after you upgrade the database to see if there were any issues.
Much thanks. Looks like I'm too nice of a friend and will probably be helping aka doing this for him. I'll try this and I'll check the logs too, thank you!
Just came here to say that works exceptionally well, the upgrading process!
Thanks for posting back!Quote:
