[support] Upgrading Issue

[Ross Bundy]

Thanks, Jamie.

I extracted the ZIP file on top of my existing directory overwriting the 
old files. I have my website under Subversion, and I checked the 
differences between the existing checked in copy and the new one. 
Nothing jumps out as out of the ordinary. For example, in the Drupal 
root directory, COPYRIGHT.txt remained unchanged, while the version 
changed from 7.2 to 7.4 in profiles\minimal\minimal.info. Spot checking, 
all of the other file changes seem reasonable. I show that 194 files 
were modified and 6 were added.

I don't think that the file extraction or file location is the problem. 
Good thought, though.

Other ideas?

Thanks,
--ross
