Upgrade option not available when running zc_install

I am trying to upgrade my Zencart from version 1.3.9 to the current 1.5. I have followed the instructions exactly as written. When I run the zc_install, everything goes as planned until I come to the "install". There is no upgrade option, only install. If I install, won't it erase my entire database? How to I get the upgrade option to show? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Re: Upgrade option not available when running zc_install

Is the DB_PREFIX in your test site's configure.php different from the DB_PREFIX on your live site?
You'll need to make your test site use the same DB_PREFIX as your live site if you want your imported data to be visible or upgradable.

Are you following this process? http://www.zen-cart.com/entry.php?3-How-do-I-rebuild-my-site-on-the-new-version-instead-of-upgrading
or some other approach?
