Installing ZMySQLDA on Windows is not nearly so hard as some people make it out to be, but I suppose it could be easier. You do have to have MySQLdb/MySQL-python installed. There's a MySQL-python binary package for Windows and a standard Python 2.1 installation, but Zope binary packages comes with their own pre-packaged Python, so Zope never sees it. The installer doesn't let you install anywhere else, and there is no package built against Zope's Python. Furthermore I do no development work on Windows at all and cannot build any binary packages for that platform; all Windows packages I have are contributed and that is not likely to change anytime soon. -- Andy Dustman PGP: 0x930B8AB6 @ .net http://dustman.net/andy "Cogito, ergo sum." -- Rene Descartes "I yam what I yam and that's all what I yam." -- Popeye
