[Opensim-users] Advice in updating from diva 13981 to 23797?

[missyfitz]

I have an old database exported from an old installation of diva-13981 and
I'd like to update it to diva-23797. (I know, it's very very out of date,
but it was a separate little project I was working on a while back and
neglected to update)

The INSTALL.txt file says...

"To update your world to a newer diva release, simply run the tool
Update.exe
Then, shutdown OpenSim.exe in the old release and start 
OpenSim.exe in the new release."

...but that's not completely clear (at least not to someone who isn't doing
this regularly.) Do I download the new release to a parallel directory and
run the update.exe in the new version, or in the old version?

Also, I've read sites from about a year ago which describe manually copying
various .ini settings from the old version to the new.. Is that still
necessary or does the update.exe now import those settings itself?

Are there any issues I should be planning ahead for in updating such an old
version?
