I just installed a full copy of Zope 2.2.5 onto my NT 4.0 SP 6 machine and then copied over my data.fs* files from Zope 2.2.3. Zope 2.2.5 comes up OK after that, but none of the Products in the Control Panel / Products folder is shown as broken, even though I have yet to copy over the dozen or so products that I had added onto Zope 2.2.3. Of course, other objects that depend on those products fail and some of those do display a "broken" icon and state. But why don't the incomplete products themselves get flagged as broken? This may be part of a (small) Zope misfeature.
If exceptions occur during some part of product registration, then Zope appears not to update the product state. I suggest, you activate Zope's logging mechanism (either through an environment variable "STUPID_LOG_FILE=file" or with an equivalent command line argument to "start"). Then restart Zope and look at the log file. If you see exceptions there, file a bug report into the Collector. Dieter
