Going back and forth between 2.5.1 and 2.2 is not something we tested
specifically.  I think it should be fine if no changes to aliases or
driver defs is made after switching versions.  However, we converted
the format of the older SQLAliases.xml to SQLAliases23.xml in version
2.3 and above.  So - correct me if I'm wrong Gerd - but there could be
some issue related to saving alias definitions after
installing/un-installing 2.5.1 (which creates the SQLAliases23.xml
file) then modifying alias definitions using 2.2 - which uses
SQLAliases.xml - and then going back into 2.5 and attempting to use
them.

The other gotcha that I think you might be seeing (PrefixedConfig
class missing) is attempting to install different versions in the same
directory location.  This is not something that we currently support
and the installer should warn you against doing this.

I would recommend installing 2.5.1 in a fresh location and giving it
one more try (fixing any issues with driver/alias defs you encounter
as Gerd suggested).  Let us know how it goes.
