[Zope] NTUserFolder requires win32ext - how do I link to that?

[Geoff Gardiner]

I have read the advice about using the inbuilt copy of Python when
installing Zope, and confirmed for myself that I don't see how to get Zope
to use an existing installed version of Python.

But I am trying NTUserFolder which relies on win32 extensions. I have
installed NTUserFolder and confirmed that it too doesn't run with the
default installation (<Error Type: KeyError; Error Value: PARENT_URL>, when
adding a new user; details below - I assume that lack of win32ext is the
problem but could very easily be wrong).

I would like to know either
- how to get win32extensions visible to the Zope copy of python, or
- how to get Zope to look at my 'win32all' python installation (which I
would ensure to be the latest version of python).

As always, thank you for any pointers to a solution.
