Probably this is just in the start sequence. You cannot, of course, run Zope as a service in Win98, since it understands no such thing. Quite possibly you can use runzope or whatever to execute it in a console.
I can't say exactly as the traceback has been edited out of this thread (and I've deleted the old messages).
Indeed it's in the start sequence and I'm not trying to run it as a service. This is the traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Zope-2.8.4\lib\python\Zope2\Startup\run.py", line 56, i n ? run() File "C:\Program Files\Zope-2.8.4\lib\python\Zope2\Startup\run.py", line 21, i n run starter.prepare() File "C:\PROGRAM FILES\ZOPE-2.8.4\lib\python\Zope2\Startup\__init__.py", line 99, in prepare self.registerSignals() File "C:\PROGRAM FILES\ZOPE-2.8.4\lib\python\Zope2\Startup\__init__.py", line 320, in registerSignals Signals.registerZopeSignals([self.cfg.eventlog, File "C:\PROGRAM FILES\ZOPE-2.8.4\lib\python\Signals\Signals.py", line 116, in registerZopeSignals SignalHandler.registerHandler(SIGTERM, shutdownFastHandler) File "C:\PROGRAM FILES\ZOPE-2.8.4\lib\python\Signals\WinSignalHandler.py", lin e 207, in registerHandler sa = createEventSecurityObject() File "C:\PROGRAM FILES\ZOPE-2.8.4\lib\python\Signals\WinSignalHandler.py", lin e 84, in createEventSecurityObject sidEveryone.Initialize(ntsecuritycon.SECURITY_WORLD_SID_AUTHORITY,1) pywintypes.error: (120, 'InitializeSid', 'This function is only valid in Win32 m ode.') I wonder if this could a problem of the installer, but doesn't seem very likely as I assume it doesn't change the source code. I didn't have the time to try the tarball in win98SE. I have no idea how much work that could be. Fernando
