The download comes with dist-configure files, which are changed into configure files at installation time. It has been this way for years.

Re: v1.39h doesn't contain configure.php files?

The files:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

do NOT come with the Zen Cart download ...

The are called:
/includes/dist-configure.php
/admin/includes/dist-configure.php

so that on upgrades, you do not accidentally overwrite your customized files for:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

on a new install, if you follow the instructions, you need to rename:
/includes/dist-configure.php
/admin/includes/dist-configure.php

to the:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

these will then be configured during the Installation ...

On an Upgrade, you do NOT use these files as you will already have the files from the previous Installation ...
