    Just go into PHPMyAdmin or whatever your server uses for MySQL databases, then drop the tables or even the whole db... then it'll install fresh.

    Let me get this straight. You have PHPBB and VB installed in the same Database so the tables from both software are in 1 database? If i am right you can do either one of two things. Manually delete vBulletin's tables from the database or click the link in the upgrade script to clear the tables. This 3rd option has been never tried before. Try setting a custom prefix for your mysql tables in the config.php file. Then in theory it won't overwrite the default tables you have int he database already which you can remove at a later time.
