[Zope] Plone & ActivePython 2.2 on Win32

Reminds me of things I forgot to mention in my first email.

I've uninstalled/reinstalled Plone/Zope once already.

Uninstalling/reinstalling ActivePython is not feasible, because the number
of modules installed is LARGE. 

So worst case scenario - I move Data.fs, uninstall Plone/Zope, install plain
vanilla Zope. Or keep running the Plone/Zope service from the commandline...

Any way I could get a verbose Python-esque listing of what happens when the
service is started?

Thanks.

Samir.

I have not yet installed the plone tutorial so I migth be wrong.
However ActivePython writes all information it needs to run into the
registry.
Either plone at installation time or windows at runtime reads this settings.
You could try to uninstall Active python and the reinstalling plone a second

time.
If there is somethin you want to have preserve from the first installation:
Just copy the file var\Data.fs to a save place befor the reinstallation.
Zope 
keps all objects there and you can replace it with a backup. It will
probably 
not be touched by the reinstallation.
