Is this a direct upgrade for version 7.5 beta 1? Or are there any special steps to upgrade to the released version?

The only difference between 7.5 beta 1 and 7.5 full is a few files have
been changed to iron out bugs, the changed files are mentioned in the
version history file.
Upgarding Access Version
Upgrading from version 7.01 to 7.5 Access version is straight forward.
Just replace the old files with the new ones keeping the same database
file. In the Acces database you will have to increase the size of the
field Browser to 20 in the table tblActiveUsers.
Upgrading SQL Server Version
Upgrading from version 7.01 to 7.5 SQL server version is a
little more complcated. You need to replace all the old files with the
new ones. You then also need to change the stored procedure
wwfSpLastAndFirstThreadAuthor, in the SQL Enterprise Manager to
the following:-
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[wwfSpLastAndFirstThreadAuthor] (
@lngTopicID int
)
AS
SELECT tblThread.Thread_ID, tblThread.Author_ID, tblThread.Message, tblThread.Message_date, tblAuthor.Username
FROM tblAuthor, tblThread
WHERE tblAuthor.Author_ID = tblThread.Author_ID AND tblThread.Topic_ID = @lngTopicID
ORDER BY tblThread.Message_date ASC;
GO |
You will also need to add the following new stored procedure if you
wish to use the SQL Server Stats page in the admin section. The new SP
is:-
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[wwfSpDBinfo] As
Declare @low int
Declare @dbsize dec(10,2)
Declare @dbpath nvarchar(100)
Declare @logpath nvarchar(100)
Declare @dbfilesize dec(10,2)
Declare @logfilesize dec(10,2)
Declare @maxdbfilesize dec(10,2)
Declare @maxlogfilesize dec(10,2)
--Minimum Database Size
select @low = low from master.dbo.spt_values
where type = N'E' and number = 1
--Calculation of current Database Size in MB
select @dbsize = (convert(dec(15),sum(size)) * @low / 1048576)
from [sysfiles]
--Actual File Size of Log and Data File
Select TOP 1 @dbpath = [filename] from [sysfiles] where groupid = 1
Select TOP 1 @logpath = [filename] from [sysfiles] where groupid = 0
Select @dbfilesize = convert(dec(10,2),sum([size]))/128 from
[sysfiles] where [filename] = @dbpath --in MB
Select @logfilesize = convert(dec(10,2),sum([size]))/128 from [sysfiles] where [filename] = @logpath --in MB
Select TOP 1 @maxdbfilesize = convert(dec(10,2),[maxsize])/128 from [sysfiles] where [filename] = @dbpath
Select TOP 1 @maxlogfilesize = convert(dec(10,2),[maxsize])/128 from [sysfiles] where [filename] = @logpath
If @maxdbfilesize = (-.01) Set @maxdbfilesize = -1
If @maxlogfilesize = (-.01) Set @maxlogfilesize = -1
---Creating Output Table
select @dbsize Databasesize, @dbpath DataLocation , @logpath LogLocation,
@dbfilesize DatabaseFileSize, @logfilesize Logfilesize,
@maxdbfilesize MaxDBSize, @maxlogfilesize MazLogSize,
ServerProperty('edition') Edition,
CASE ServerProperty('IsCluster')
WHEN 0 THEN 'No Cluster'
WHEN 1 THEN 'Cluster'
ELSE 'No Cluster/Unknown'
END Cluster,
CASE ServerProperty('License_Type')
WHEN 'PER_SEAT' THEN 'Seat Licensing (' + Convert(nvarchar(5),ServerProperty('NumLicenses')) + ')'
WHEN 'Per_Processor' THEN 'Processor Licensing
(' + Convert(nvarchar(5),ServerProperty('NumLicenses')) + ')'
ELSE 'Licensing Disabled / Unknown'
END Licensing,
ServerProperty('ProductLevel') PLevel
GO

You will also need to increase the size of the field Browser in the table tblActiveUsers to 20.
