Must be yesterdays version then (i had just that error message, after removing an ancient pywintypes23.dll from C:\WINNT\system32).
There are 2 pywintypes23.dlls now: $ZOPE_HOME\bin\PyWinTypes23.dll $ZOPE_HOME\bin\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32\pywintypes23.dll
Zope starts fine now (although there are no messages in the console window anymore).
Ya, I noticed that too. I don't know what's _intended_ here. The instance's event.log and Z2.log appear to be fine, and event.log in particular shows that you can shut down Zope cleanly now by hitting Ctrl+C in the DOS box from which you launched Zope; e.g., ... 2005-06-05T13:44:39 INFO ZServer HTTP server started at Sun Jun 05 13:44:39 2005 Hostname: FATDESK Port: 8080 ------ 2005-06-05T13:44:41 INFO Zope Ready to handle requests [... here I played with Zope for a brief time, then hit Ctrl+C ...] ------ 2005-06-05T13:46:01 INFO WinSignalHandler Caught signal SIGINT ------ 2005-06-05T13:46:01 INFO Z2 Shutting down ------ 2005-06-05T13:46:01 INFO ZServer closing HTTP to new connections
