[Solved] How to upgrade to 1.9.8i?

[MoneyMagnets]

At long last I worked out what had happened after going through Milbo's comments again and again.

The file that I was told to upgrade to in the back office of VM2 was NOT the extract first file but the main zip file without the AIO (I assume it means All in One). When I downloaded the file from http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files then it includes the extract first file AND the AIO file and so I don't get an error when I install the AIO as well as the main extract zip file.

Thanks Milbo for pointing me in the correct direction.

In future when the VM2 component says that there's a file to upgrade it would be easier (and less time consuming for people like myself who are still getting to grips with it) if the extract first file was placed there or a simple link to the download files was used. If I had downloaded the correct file in the first place for the upgrade it would have saved us all some time!

Thanks,
Karen

The future is even more commod,... the AIO also gets an update function,... so you update vm with akeeba release system, then you go to the aio, there is one view with the possibility to update all extensions of the aio :-)

After long searching and searching, also reading karens post over and over again (at first I did not understand what she meant by First File) I also saw that the zip-file on the VM site contains more than first thought: 2 files!

Indeed, I pressed the update button at the VM-backend which produced the error at the frontend, and obviously it lacks updating the AIO-thingy(?).

So I installed the com_virtuemart_ext_aio.1.9.8k.zip and I see something more at the AIO menu at the joomla backend, however I still don't see items installed there, should I see something listed in there?

No, is fine. You see the stuff listed in the joomla extension view.
