@mikelawrey32 I wouldn't expect that to work. It is not the correct method to update.
If you absolutely must upgrade without using the core update component, these instructions are the only reliable method to ensure the update is completed correctly.
It's certainly not the "method" in which I update to 3.8. It also doesnt work when I try and upgrade in the Joomla admin update manager.
