Installer Problem with Upgrade button

[CosmosK]

GoldBuckle, did you get your upgrade to work? I'm looking at multiple sets of instructions and can't get it working. I can do clean install which blows away the old database, but can't get the install to work with old files mixed in.

Yes, see the instructions below regarding bringing in an older data base.

Just got it to upgrade: put 1.57 files in folder, added 2 old configure files and the upgrade button appeared.

Until this last post, the OP (original post'er) has never given any indication of doing step 4. And, even with all matching DB info, you will not get an upgrade button until zc_install sees an earlier version in the DB tables. Thus my
You will not get an upgrade button on any new install. The upgrade option in zc_install is only available IF/AFTER you have brought in an older database backup.
