You will get a folder containing two components:

- com_virtuemart.2.x.y.zip which is actually the VirtueMart component

- com_virtuemart.2.x.y_ext_aio.zip which is a component installing all the modules and plugins essential for VirtueMart.

The procedure to update VirtueMart 2 is the same as for the installation.

The update procedure will update all the files, and the tables if needed.

You should always update BOTH components: com_virtuemart.2.x.y.zip and com_virtuemart.2.x.y_ext_aio.zip

You can also use the built in Akeeba Release System which is included in both components. In this case, you must also update BOTH components.
