Failing that, I'd be interested to know if anyone /is/ successfully using this combination of Zope and Windows versions?

Forgot the 3rd question - is Windows NT 4.0 sp6a still an /officially/ supported platform?

I've heard of this error with the Plone Installer as well, if you do fix it let me know so I can put a note on the plone site.

OK - FWIW, this is a Zope *and* Plone installation. I've boned up on problems others are having with Zope/Plone, and their install issues seem /not/ to be due to this problem. However, I have found others using Python's Windows service extensions having the same issue. Am highly motivated to figure out a fix - this kind of dumb insolence drives me wild! -- Regards, PhilK Email: phil@xfr.co.uk / Voicemail & Facsimile: 07092 070518 "Work as if you lived in the early days of a better nation." - Alasdair Gray
