[Zope] New to zope

[Chris McDonough]

The Fine Manual is at
http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/current/index_html

It should get you started.

The registry thing.. ugh.  Yes, you're right, the service should have
been uninstalled.  It's a bug in the uninstaller.

Windows makes it exceedingly difficult to get rid of this entry without
having Zope installed.  I would reinstall Zope using the same options
that you did when you installed it for the first time then from a DOS
window try running:

python.exe YourZopeDirectory\ZServer\ZService.py remove

HTH,
