Hmm. Don't have that much NT experience, but am doing a zope install currently,
may it be possible that you can pass this in the z2.py parameter?

You service normally resides in the following registry-key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current Control Set\Services\<Your Zope Name>\Parameters\run

("run" may be wrong ... don't know it from the top of my head currently)

there is the z2.py call, did you try to append STUPID_LOG_FILE='var\myLogFile.log'
or something like that? This would be equivalent to the linux variant of setting it
"on-the-fly".

Greetings

Christian
