This dll exists in in the Zope tree in the directories bin and bin\lib\win32. unfortunately none of these is in the PYTHONPATH. Remedy: copy PyWinTypes15.dll into one of the directories where it searches for ( e.g. in your case C:\programs\ZopeDev\lib\python\Products\LocalFS) or change the start.bat so that PythonPath also points to these directories phil *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 04.09.2000 at 08:58 Jean Jordaan wrote:

Hi Zopers ..

I've installed Zope to start as a service. It seems to work perfectly fine, but I notice messages like the following in the eventlog::

2000/09/02 10:25:36 Application Popup Information None 26 N/A JEAN Application popup: python.exe - Unable To Locate DLL : The dynamic link library PyWinTypes15.dll could not be found in the specified path C:\programs\ZopeDev\lib\python\Products\LocalFS; .; C:\WINNT\System32; C:\WINNT\system; C:\WINNT; C:\Perl\bin\; C:\WINNT\system32; C:\WINNT; C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem; C:\Program Files\Network Associates\PGPNT; C:\Program Files\Resource Pro Kit\; c:\programs\vim\vim57; C:\programs\NcFTP; c:\cygwin\bin; c:\cygwin\usr\bin.

(I broke the path into separate lines for clarity.) Now, when I examine the environment variables thru 'Control Panel|System|Advanced|Environment Variables', Zope does not feature. I also don't notice anything untoward when I examine the registry. The registry entry that starts Zope seems to be::

REGEDIT4

(This also occurs as [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\ZopeDev] except that the 'ControlSet001' version has an additional key, 'Enum'::

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\ZopeDev\Enum] "0"="Root\\LEGACY_ZOPEDEV\\0000" "Count"=dword:00000001 "NextInstance"=dword:00000001

Now for the questions:

- What is the difference between the 'ControlSet002' version and the 'ControlSet001' version?

- How and where does 'LocalFS' get into the path?

- Why isn't 'C:\programs\ZopeDev\bin\lib\win32\PyWinTypes15.dll' found?

- What, for that matter, is the difference between *that* PyWinTypes15 and this one: 'C:\programs\ZopeDev\bin\PyWinTypes15.dll'?

Any answers sorely appreciated!
