Install fresh install of SMF in same database with your IPB. Use prefix like smf_, it makes your life easyer. After that, upload converter to your SMF root and run it.

The converter is on the downloads page under "Converters and Tools".

I'm afraid you'll need to install Invision, or at least upload the database, for the conversion to run.

if you already have the DB, then you could also just stick conf_global.php (properly configured, of course, see IPBs) in the smf folder and give the converter the To apth for both
