If you are updating on 6.x version to another, simply replace the old module folder with the new one.

Then type http://www.yoursite.com/update.php and see if the switch requires a database upgrade (if it does, there will be a version number in the module listing, if not it will say no updates available). Be sure to back up your db before running any upgrades.

I logged on to ask virtually the same question. I will be upgrading one of my D5 sites to D6. The D5 uses Views 5x-1.6 and i guess i'll be upgrading to Views 6x-2.7 ..
I've read that this upgrade can be tough - is there any special voodoo that i need todoo ?

D5 to D6 is slightly more complicated kettle of fish, lots of upgrade info here:

http://drupal.org/upgrade/tutorial-introduction

but it really isn't that bad

As regards views: as I understand it, there is a basic views migrate tool inside D6, but it may not work and you may need to recreate the views manually. Someone correct me if Im wrong
