As another extreme newbie, I don't think that's it. I did exactly the same thing (running the tutorial in the superuser account) without any trouble at all over the weekend. I'm running on Win98, BTW. JDM Timothy Wilson wrote:

I've installed Zope on my Win2K Advanced Server over the weekend to test it out. I want to do the tutorial, but every time I try it tells me the tutorial isn't installed. So I followed the directions by going to http://www:8080/manager and logging in as the only user there is, me. I then add from the list Zope Tutorial. I give it an ID of "Zope Tutorial" and it brings me to a button that says launch. I click it, and I still get the same error. I reeeeealy want to learn this and play with the tutorial, but I must be doing something wrong.
Hi Robb,
I suspect that problem is that you're trying to install the tutorial as the emergency user (the one that was created automatically when you installed Zope). As a security precaution, the superuser isn't allowed to "own" anything. Your first step on a new Zope should be to make a new user and make that user a "Manager." Then use that user to install the tutorial. Good luck.
