well, seems a python install issue. I changed to dir "...\Zope-2.7.2-0\bin" and in cmd window ran python did help() , sys and executable says r'...\Zope-2.7.2-0\bin\python.exe' but exec_prefix = r'...\TSW\Apache2\python' path_importer_cache = ...\TSW|Apache2\python... TSW's pyhon is ver 2.3.4 ZOPE python is 2.3.3 so Is there a way to prevent this mixup? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Les Ferguson" <lhf@xtra.co.nz> To: "Paul Gimpelj" <pgimpelj@sympatico.ca> Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2004 5:48 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] win32 install XP SP1 no service installed.

I'm not sure what your env vars are doing to your python environment, but I had no problems doing that INSTANCE__HOME fix, just made sure that I was running the Python instance that was installed by Zope, and none of my other Python libraries etc were involved.

thanks,

I read the bug report, and removed the second underscore from INSTANCE_HOME.

But it ran with the following error: " ...\Zope-2.7.2-0\lib\python\nt-svcutils\service.py" line 18, in ? import win32serviceutil ImportError: No module named winserviceutil

I searched for it and it is located at "...\Zope-2.7.2-0\bin\Lib\site-packages\win32serviceutil.py"

Should I set up some environment variables such as search path. Its not clear what the install scrip means that INSTANCE_HOME has to be on the PYTHONPATH.

There are no environment variable set up by zope install. However I have this variable: PYTHONHOME = "...\TSW\Apache2\python"

I would like to run both TSW and Zope together.

Thanks
