Hmm -- though its no explanation for a crash, why did you choose
to install using the existing web server and then start the service
(which is unrelated to the built-in server version)? Note that
"because I didn't know any better" is a perfectly valid response --
I think we need a better explanation of the options available on NT ;)

Is the service you tried to start still running? The two are basically
mutually exclusive - both cannot have the persistent object database
open at the same time.

a, b, and c are unrelated to Zope - they are coming from your IIS
installation.

It *looks* like the service failed to start up -- do you by
any chance have an existing python installed (esp. a 1.5.2 alpha)?
In any event, if you did not choose to install Zope as a service,
you will not be able to get to it via IIS anyway.

The easiest way to figure out what's going on here is for you to:

1. stop the 'ted' service and make sure it is set as 'disabled' or
   'manual' start in the NT service manager.

2. run the serve.bat script in your ted installation to start the
   built-in server.

3. try to access 'http://localhost:8080/manage'. If you fail to access
   the management screen, send me the exact contents of the reply the
   browser gives you (by doing 'view source').
