New Instal 1.3.9f from 1.3.8

Can someone direct me to some instructions for completing a new fresh install of zencart 1.3.9f while using my existing database from a 1.3.8 site?

I'm doing this because my existing site was severely hacked and unrepairable.

HOLY COW! that is :censored: ton of data to go through! Has anyone ever used a paid update service for this sort of thing? ############# offers a 1.3.8 to 1.3.9f update for only $24.

Anyone have any experience with this? Or any other ideas?

OK. did the zencart upgrade i'm all the way up to version 1.3.9f but now it get this error in my header

"Warning Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Tools->Server Information to review patch levels."

looking at my database it is still displaying version 1.3.8 so how do i update JUST the database?

If you look at the first one, your question is answered starting at point #8.

Why do we even bother writing documentation instructions if nobody ever reads them?

Thanks for directing me to the documentation. In response to your comment... everyone asks questions on this forum because they don't know the answer they seek.

It make me laugh when participants get mad or make flip comments like "why do we even bother..." that someone doesn't know the answer to their question.

It makes me laugh too when someone is given the answer and comes back and asks a question that clearly reveals that they didn't even read the answer given.
