I have a similar problem. I found that after attempting to start zope the first time that if you go to the task manager and look at the list of processes running you will find both a pythonservice.exe and python.exe (the names may not be exactly right, I am going by memory). Kill these two services and start zope again. This works for me. It may also be helpful to execute runzope.bat from within a dos window and look for any error messages. hth, Mike

I'm afraid I can't replicate this. Something on your system is borked, I think. I suspected that Python itself looked for its library in the registry on Windows, but this doesn't appear to be the case. Is it feasible to uninstall Python 2.1 and try it again?

This sounds strange. I will try to install Python 2.1 on my system alongside of Zope and see if I can replicate it.

Hi Andreas,

...

Somehow your installation is borked since Zope 2.7 requires Python 2.2.3 and you are using 2.1.... or so.

yes, it looks like that but my question is, how comes since my runzope.bat (my Zope-starter) is configured to use the default zope 2.7 python? Is there any use of the registry for the decision which dll's to use?

It looks like this:

@set PYTHON=L:\Zope\Zope27\Zope-2.7.0-b1\bin\python.exe @set ZOPE_HOME=L:\Zope\Zope27\Zope-2.7.0-b1 @set INSTANCE_HOME=L:\Zope\Zope27\ZopeInstanceFiles @set CONFIG_FILE=%INSTANCE_HOME%\etc\zope.conf @set PYTHONPATH=%ZOPE_HOME%\lib\python @set ZOPE_RUN=%ZOPE_HOME%\lib\python\Zope\Startup\run.py "%PYTHON%" "%ZOPE_RUN%" -C "%CONFIG_FILE%" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7
