I just went through this - downloaded the very latest 7.0.5 version.
I first copied my v6 files into a sub directory
then exported and re-imported my v6 database into a new schema, and put those details into the sub directory / copy's config.php file.
then copy the upgrade.php file from the new v7 into that sub directory, then I could then run the upgrade.php script by calling my domain/v7subdir version - which updates the database (my copy for testing).. once database done, copy all the rest of the v7 files into that sub directory - and test. (actually then turn off the infusions and fix things that don't work).
once i was happy it was working - i copied the v7 upgrade.php script into the original v6 directory - ran the db upgrade again, and once done, copied all the files which i knew were working from the sub directory in the main directory - shazam - sorted.
it was long winded, but i wanted to test everything first. It appears it would have worked without the extra effort.
