My website is running on 1.4 version, i never removed anything from 1.4 version but i added 3 fields in product table in database, added few stored procedures, little changes in display and did some changes with order invoices , paypal invoice etc, so in short i did some modifications in 1.4 version
In my situation how to upgrade from 1.4 version to 1.5 version ?
there is a sacreencast for this, but i know you made changes to files so,
make sure everything is backed up, run the UPGRADE scripts over your database
apply the changes you made to v1.4 files to your 1.5 files (check your resourceStrings as you go to help resolve the issues you have been having) and upload your 1.5 files (might be an ide to do this into a new folder on your server)
