I gave up on the upgrade since I had so little invested in the 2.5 install. A clean install of 2.6 went smoothly on my system...just waiting for the license keys from Altec now.

Uninstall APM 2.5
backup SQL db (if keeping)
Make sure you are running SQL 2005 or 2008
Install 2.6 making sure to denote which version you are upgrading from if you keep your db
Make sure you set activation account for COM+ application
I piloted upgrade several times and had times where SQL upgrade scripts did not complete - in which case I restored from backup and then ran the sql upgrade exe manually
a couple times I had duplicate ERM printers created which I had to delete from db manually
Good Luck
