 Status: Pending => Resolved

I have added a note explaining that Zope needs to be started at least once for this directive to be useful in the zope.conf.in docs.

Using an plain "in place" Zope 2.7 b3 install.

If "enable-product-installation off" is set in etc/zope.conf before zope is run, zope will not start up (traceback below). 

If zope has been run once with the default ("enable-product-installation on") then it will start normally, and 
if "enable-product-installation off" is set it will still start normally.

I assume this is because the OFSP product (and possibly others) need to be registered/installed. Running zope normally with product installation on then is necessary for at least the first time zope is run, to ensure the default products are available to Zope in subsequent runs. Or perhaps certain core products need to be exceptions that are "installed" every time, even when the above option is "off".
