As I did...
I made a fresh installation. standard
and upload only Produtos and Clients to the 1.56a DB.

Then I made the modifications, installed plugins and alterations in the Responsible template.
But firts I renamed it to RESPONSIBLE_ISCARLY_TEMPLATE
these folders where responsible_Clasic just put the "new_name_template", This way in new actualization 1.56b will not overwrite my modifactios will only merge

I have a lot os plugins and alterations and uploaded one by one..
Extrafield, QuickView, AdminNotes, RecoverCart, LayoutGrid ... and my own modifications, comparing one file with another ..

It took me a long time
but I know that I do not have "leftover" or obsolete file.

The updates of Zen-cart is the worst thing that this great script has.
I have tried over 10 shopping Cart scripts and the ZC is the best without a doubt, but it is not for lazy people. (No offense)

using since over 10 years
Mauri, by my statement of missing a lot of information I was referring to oavs as the original poster (OP). I commend you on the ability to sustain a Zen Cart store for so long, though would say that the process described to do the upgrade is incomplete as well. Primarily the entire database (possibly after exporting and removing the admin log) should be transferred in the upgrade process instead of just the products and customers tables. The upgrade script supports this process quite well. Yes, upgrading requires more than just press a button and walk away, though improvements in the structure continue to be made in addition to modifying the code to comply with new PHP requirements.

Anyways, my post was directed more to oavs in solving the problem that seemed to be described. The results of what was done appear to be provided, but what was done to get there was not so clearly stated.
