I'll see if I can explain the steps as I had to play around awhile to get this to work.

1. Create a folder in the Program Files/Xara/Xara Xtreme/Xara Picture Editor/PSplug-ins (I named my folder SSFilters)
2. Place the Transparency plug-in and the msvcrt10.dll in that folder.
3. Open Xara Xtreme and select the Live Effects Tool (Ctrl+F5).
4. Click the Setup button on the Infobar for the Live Effects (it is just below the gallery icons on the toolbar in my setup.
5. On the Options dialog, the Effects & plugins tab should be selected.
6. Click the Setup button in the Photoshop Plugins section.
7. Click the Add Folder button, then find the folder you created in step 1.
8. Click the OK button and the path to the folder should show in the window.
9. Make sure the check box at the bottom of the PS Plug-ins location setup dialog is checked so that "Enable Host Specific Plug-ins" is enabled.

The 24-bit Transparency should show in your Live Effects.
