Thanks to everyone for responding. The event log shows an "Information Event" with a source of python~1. The message is "Starting Zope". When I try to start the service itself the error returned is as follows: "Could not start the Zope (Zope) service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error." I can try installing python as you suggested and will let you know what I find out. Mark Hammond - is his stuff on the zope site or on python.org? The Zope member list is down at the moment so I can't look for him there. Thanks again.

I've been running Zope (2.1.4) for a while on NT4sp6 as a service. After installing Windows 2000 Professional a fresh install of Zope won't run.
Anything in the event log?

Yes - that would be the first place to look for a clue. We haven't tried Zope out internally on win2K yet, so I can't really speak intelligently on the matter right now. But, since that's never stopped me before... :^) The win32 service support is based on Mark Hammonds win32 extensions (win32service in particular). A good place for an enterprising individual to start would be to take Zope out of the picture by installing a clean Python1.5.2 on win2K with the win32 extensions and see if any of Mark's win32 service demos (I believe there is at least one) will run. If anyone takes me up on this, I'd be _very_ interested in the results (as I won't have time for a while yet to get to this myself). Hope this helps!
