When you download YAF-v1.9.6.1-RTW-SRC, what do you open in Visual Studio?

Choice 1 is yetanotherforum.net.sln solution

Choice 2 is the YetAnotherForum.NET folder

If it's okay to ask another question, I already had 1.95 installed, but messed up the upgrade. Can I delete everything (or just keep my web.config, install folder, and images folder) and just start all over again? I'm mainly worried about the database -- if I can still use the database I purchased from my host and has the information from the YAF 1.95 I had on it.

Thanks for any help anybody can offer!
