That is surprising :)  The reason it *should* work is that
pythonservice.exe, pythonw.exe and pywintypes23.dll are all in the same
directory.

One thing I ran into last night: I previously installed a Zope 2.8 build on
my box and uninstalled it - however, the Instance Home for this installation
was *not* manually removed.  I then installed this b2 release - Zope itself
was installed into a different directory, but the same Instance Home
directory was used.

As this Instance Home directory existed, Zope did *not* recreate certain key
files in the Instance Home.  Thus, zopeservice.py and runzope.bat pointed to
the *old* Zope binary directory, not the new one.

I could see how something like that could cause the problem.
