If you already have the old version installed there really is NO REASON to not simply follow the instructions in the latest version of IH2 for removing older versions of IH2.. It's as simple as uninstalling (in your case you will need to run the install first), remove the obsolete files (list of obsolete files is provided in the readme), then uploading the new IH2 fileset..

Not sure why you are hesitant to do this since this is the EASIEST way to ensure that the older version of IH2 is correctly uninstalled.. (which is why we tested AND recommended this approach in the readme for the latest version). The ONLY thing the IH2 install and uninstall does is to add the needed IH2 entries to the DB.. YES you can remove them manually, but why take a longer approach when there IS a simple solution available..

I may try editing the DB, done a little before but I hope its obvious what I need to discard. Need to remember how. I thought of trying to install a fresh old version 1.3.5 and check for code where it is hard coded in this 1.3.9h. Does not sound fun and may not get that Admin to recognize my DB sql. Shame, all my picts look okay in Categories, but I may have other issues like the "blank store page" and that may have nothing to do with this wanted IH2 updated version.
Thanks again,
