Hi ! The temp. solution is that: import os print os.path.expanduser("~") f=open('C:/Program Files/ZopeExternalEditor/zopeedit.exe.old','rb') data=f.read() f.close() p=data.find('~\ZopeEdit.ini') if p==0: raise Exception,'Not found !' data=data.replace('~\ZopeEdit.ini','c:\zope\ze.ini') f=open('C:/Program Files/ZopeExternalEditor/zopeedit.exe','wb') f.write(data) f.close() print "Finished" So we can patching the exe file. fowlertrainer
