The installation instruction are a bit difficult to understand
unless you have read about "INSTANCE_HOME" on Zope.org.

Products usually live in "<zoperoot>\lib\python\Products".
If you copy your "CMFCore", "CMFDefault" and friends
there and restart Zope, then you should see the new
addable objects....

There is an Zope advanced feature (INSTANCE_HOME) that
allows you to separate the standard Zope installation
from site specific data and customization (e.g.
site specific products).
In this case (only), you would copy to "$INSTANCE_HOME\Products"
where "$INSTANCE_HOME" means the folder identified by the
content of the "INSTANCE_HOME" variable.
Read more on Zope.org, if you need this feature...
