Okay, that makes things easier :-)

Ah, this seems to be the problem, thanks! In my virtualenv this Folder
(Python25\DLLs\) is included in sys.path (additionally to \sandbox
\DLLs). That's strange, because I created the sandbox also with
--no-site-packages switch. Which version of virtualenv are you using?
You can find out with

  virtualenv -h

I used 1.3.3 last time.

Can you check whether it helps to upgrade virtualenv, in case you do not
have the latest installed? This should be possible by

  easy_install -U virtualenv

If afterwards everything works (old sandboxes would stay broken, you'd
need to copy you projects to a fresh sandbox and run bootstrap.py and
bin/bootstrap.exe of the project again), please tell, so that we can
update the docs accordingly.

If you have the latest virtualenv installed already, then I currently
have no clue. You could copy the contents of \Python25\DLLs to \vgrok
\DLLs but this would hardly be a real solution.

If you have no problems with it, then it's fine :-) But we should solve
this virtualenv issue anyway, although it is not Grok or Zope-based.
