What problems have you had, specifically?  Remember, you cannot mix 
files from 2.4 and 2.5, for such an upgrade you should install 2.5 in 
a separate directory and copy your webpages, scripts, and 
configuration files across.

To debug (config and other) problems with the service version, run it 
as a normal console process.  To do this, pause the service (if it's 
running), then open a console window, and run the service in debug 
mode in the Xitami directory:

  xisrv32 -d

Whatever information you can provide about the problems you're having 
will help us make such a thing.
