Question about vbportal

Hello i run vbseo on my website and currently have my forums running on the root of the site. I would like to use vbportal and it has alot to offer but they are insisting that it be installed in the root and that i need to move my forums to a directory. Now moving my forums to a directory would mess up alot of paths and i have alot of pages that have pr and dont want to mess that up. Do you know of any solutions or have any sugestions for me? I am very confused.

theres an option to rename the index.php script to something else, like forums.php

then, you can run the portal and the forums in root.

thats what i do with vbadvanced. I was going through the vbportal files though and noticed there are some conflicting files with my forums. After talking to vbportal support they told me it was not possible due to conflicts :(. But i know anything is possible .
