i suggest you change to a "INSTANCE_HOME" installation see: http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/instancehome where it is much easier to upgrade i have recently upgraded my zope installation from 251 to 261 and for testing even to 27 cvs - everything worked fine cheers, bernd

There are some problems when you _exporting_ ZClasses from 2.5.x and then _importing_ them into 2.6.x. I'm not sure if copying Data.fs affected with this bug or not.

Pretty much. But you can skip the uninstalling of 2.5.1 step: Zope isn't transparently invasive of the system like most Windows-native apps. Plus if you keep the old version around, it's a lot easier to revert if something screws up. I second the suggestion that you go with an instance setup: it's mega-easier to work with. --jcc
