How about some information about your system? Or details about the problem?

The export script goes in the blender\2.56\scripts\io\vb25 directory. Replace 2.56 with your version. However using git allows you to automatically download it all, or update it. As the wiki says:

To install:
cd <blender-install-dir>/<blender-version>/scripts/io/
git clone --depth=1 git://github.com/bdancer/vb25.git

To update:
cd <blender-install-dir>/<blender-version>/scripts/io/vb25/
git pull

Did you install git?

Ok. So drop to an administrative command prompt (start, type cmd, right-click cmd icon above and run as admin). Then:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\V-RayBlender-2.56\2.56\scripts\io"

See if you have a vb25 directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\V-RayBlender-2.56\2.56\scripts\io>dir /b
netrender
vb25

If NOT (you do since you're using bdancer's build, but this is for posterity, use git to download a new copy:

git clone --depth=1 git://github.com/bdancer/vb25.git

Since you do have a vb25 directory:

cd vb25
git pull

Once you have a vb25 directory, you can add vb25 to the first cd command and then run git pull. This is exactly what is in the wiki, which I also quoted.

If running "git" says it is not recognized as a command, then it is either not installed, nor in your path. In which case, install it or prepend "git" with the full path name to the executable. On my system it looks like this:

C:\BlenderSVN\_install\blender25-r34630x64\2.56\scripts\io\vb25>"c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe" pull

If you use git, you don't need to manually download the update files. Also, you don't need vb25-patch. That is for compiling blender yourself.
