I need to upgrade from sugarcrm 5.2 to the most recent.
It keeps breaking on the process and I never got passed the 5.5, maybe 6 once.
Is it possible for me to just install the latest version of sugarcrm, and apply the Upgrade SQLs on the DB only and then use the fresh install with the upgraded DB?
Thanks
[EDIT]
I tried silent upgrades and every other way to upgrade the code, I have checked php settings etc, What I want to know is if I can do what I suggested above.
I also have cache/upload with 16GB of data and cache/images with a few more GB. What should I do with those folders in case I can get a fresh install and upgrade the DB?
[/EDIT]
don’t know if it matters but my server runs Linux. (I don’t think versions play a major rule on what I want to do, since I would only install most recent then I need up to date mysql, php, apache etc)
You could also try using the silent upgrader, which sometimes is more successful…

From that far back, a migration may be a better option. You can simply install the new version, and then dump your old data into the new data structure.
