Let's start over.... For a Tiki upgrade, you essentially install the new (15.2) version on top of your existing site.

If you unarchived the ZIP into a directory that is different than your current Tiki installation, you're not going to upgrade anything — you'll be installing an entirely new Tiki in a different subdirectory.

See the Upgrade Docs, especially 6 Update Your Files — Install over existing.

Be sure to backup everything (your current database and all directories/files) before upgrading. And be sure review the Tiki 15 Release Notes, as there are many big changes moving from 12x to 15x.

FWIW, here's how I upgrade my Tiki sites:
1. Make a copy of my current database.
2. Unarchive the ZIP into a new folder.
3. Copy all of my customizations, file gallery uploads, etc., into the the correct location in the new folder (from step 2).
4. In the new folder (from step 2) run the tiki-install.php. In the installer, specify the database copy (from step 1).
5. Test the new Tiki. If everything is fine:
6. Archive my current Tiki.
7. Move/copy everything from the new folder (from step 2) to my web root.
