SMF Version: SMF 1.1 RC3
Don't Install SMF 1.1 RC3 first, and the IPB 1.3 to SMF 1.1 RC3 converter, because this converter doesn't work at all. I'm really wondering if it has been tested?

1) But instead install SMF 1.0.8 using the SMF 1.0.8 - installer

2) After that use the Invision 1.3 Converter for SMF 1.0.8 , this may take several hours with a large database.

3) Go to the admin controlpanel -> Forum Maintenance ->Find and repair any errors. If found any fix them.

4) Make a back-up off your newly installed database and your forum directory

5) Install the SMF 1.1 RC3 - upgrade

6) After upgrading check your database again: Go to the admin controlpanel -> Forum Maintenance ->Find and repair any errors. If found any fix them.

Voila this should do the trick, at least for me :)
