I could install XAMPP etc, but how would that solve the diagnostic that indicated that Newbb is already installed?
It may or may not give you that error, but it allows you to SAFELY experiment without any danger of losing data and to retry operations by restarting from the backup.

If I deactivate Newbb 2.02 it still says that Newbb is already installed when I try to upgrade to 3.08.
I don't know what you have already done, but deactivating etc is not to be done.
AFAIK the upgrade process should be as follows:
- Starting with a working version of CBB 2.02
- Close your site.
- Make a backup!
- Copy all files from 3.08 to your site (replacing the old files).
- In admin module manager do update module. (this will detect the different versions and do the corrections to the database as eg changing table fields and adding tables bb_moderates, bb_reads_xxxx).
- Test the update.
- Reopen your site.
