What I'd do is grab 6.5 from the member area, install it like it where a new forum so it's a working install, dump the database, restore the old database, run an upgrade, then you should be able to run it with the old database (as it would be upgraded to 6.5)

Do you need Forum Install or Upgrade Services?
