For reasons that woul be too long to explain I want to keep the 1.5.1 file set for my store and upgrade only the db from 1.5.1 to 1.5.3
I tryed to use the zc_install to do that but the when I hit upgrade I get a message saying that the file mysql_upgrade_zencart_151_to_153.sql is not found.
I then (in my test site) copied the content of the file mysql_upgrade_zencart_151_to_153.sql (that is exactly were it should be) and pasted it in the patch database windows in the admin.
The database was updated without any problem (44 statment processed) and I do not see any loss of data of apparent problem.

Now, my questions are:
1) Is it possible that with the procedure above I created damages that I do not see at the moment but that will come out later? In other words, is it safe what I did?
2) Will I have any problem (if I keep the db 1.5.3) when later I will update also the file set to 1.5.3?
Thanks for your help.
Ciao from Italy

The answer is yes.. which is why deviations from the upgrade path are not supported, and you will find that very little assistance will be provided in walking down this path.. What kinds of issues you may ask?? The answer to that is you will have to tell us as you have ventured down an upgrade path that is not recommended or supported, and probably UNTESTED..

The real question is WHY do this at all.. If it's a matter of modules and customizations needing updating, I suggest waiting or hire someone to upgrade them for you..
