Description and Message
What is correct way to update from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 using automod? I downloaded portal 2.0.1 and click "install". Automod is unable to find a few strings like

if (!empty($_GET['style']) && $auth->acl_get('a_styles') && !defined('ADMIN_START'))
<li class="icon-home"><a href="{U_INDEX}" accesskey="h">{L_INDEX}</a> <!-- BEGIN navlinks --> <strong>&#8249;</strong>

Those strings exist in the appropriate files in forum\store\mods\board3_portal_2_0_0\_backups\ folder. I see there is update script inside board3_portal_201.zip, but the way I do it, it looks like install script doesn't know that 2.0.0 is already installed and attempts to install fresh copy instead of update.

If I uninstall 2.0.0 and install 2.0.1 from scratch, then my settings will probably be gone and I will have to reconfigure everything.

Please help!

Perform the update manually,open the file update.xml in the folder contrib/update_200_to_201 and follow the instructions.

Thank you.

Actually I asked this question on PHPBB forum and Marc suggested another solution using automod. Automod solution worked for me:

"You can do the following: Remove the Portal with AutoMOD but do not run the installer to uninstall it from the database. Afterwards install Board3 Portal 2.0.1 with AutoMOD and run the Installer. You should be able to choose the update to 2.0.1."
