 * Nevermind!
 * Got it to work with another manual upgrade. Apparently none of the files got 
   overwritten when I copied them over the first time, so I had to delete all the
   old files first.
 * Still don’t know why the automatic upgrade doesn’t work. :/

 * Not sure if this will help, but I’ve got another wordpress blog running on the
   same server, version 2.8.
 * I get the same error trying to automatically upgrade it. cannot copy that silly
   file “ui.dialog.js”

   I am on 2.8. ???

 * well i suppose…
 * If I overwrite the wp-admin and wp-includes directories… I won’t loose anything?
 * Is it okay that I don’t touch the wp-content directory?
