Hi all! No, the errors you describe indicate that the patches have not been applied. Zope requires modifications to operate under windows. Did you install it as described in the README.txt file? You need to setup the directories (I assume you did this or Zope.exe won't work at all) and then run: * setup.bat <-- applies patches * install.bat The version of Zope is based on alpha 3 and has no outstanding issues. Note, that it is NOT compatible with Zcatalog as the binaries haven't been recompiled yet. Note to DC: should I do a "Zope for Dummies" all-in-one binary with point 'n droodle interface? Or, do I just say wait 6 months? Cheers, Anthony Pfrunder
