[Zope-Coders] Re: [Zope] Zope 2.7.0 - WIN32

I never did try running the installer under W9X (mainly because I don't
have it; neither at work nor at home).  I should have mentioned this in
the release docs.

But I'm not too worried about it at the moment.  We should definitely
make sure it works for 2.7 final.  During beta, if it's important to
them, the W9X people will probably need to help out a bit by giving a
few more clues.  I wasn't able to get much out of the report below.
