Ealrier. Said trying to do a manual install... How does that differ from say the process posted at: http://www.zen-cart.com/entry.php?3-...d-of-upgrading ?

When installing ZC 1.5.3, was installed into a new directory or in some way did it overwrite some previous version/attempt?

What PHP version(s) were used through all of this? Did it change from one install to another?
