[Zope-DB] Problem Installing DCOracle2 ... for Zope 2.6.1

hmmm, it sounds like the install script is getting confused.  Presumably 
the script should be installing the win32-python-2.1-dco2.pyd as dco2.pyd.

I don't think that Oracle8 vs Oracle9 is your problem.  (At least for 
me, the win32-python-2.1-dco2.pyd has worked fine with Oracle9i)

However, if you can migrate to the newest Zope build (using python 2.3.3 
as incorporated in Plone 2.0), I just re-built the dco2.pyd windows 
binary for Oracle9i.  (look at this thread: [Zope-DB] Re: [Zope] 
ZOracleDA: compiling dco2.pyd for python23 on windows)

good luck!
