Probably this is just in the start sequence. You cannot, of course, run 
Zope as a service in Win98, since it understands no such thing. Quite 
possibly you can use runzope or whatever to execute it in a console.

I can't say exactly as the traceback has been edited out of this thread 
(and I've deleted the old messages).

FYI, the last time I tried Zope on Win98 was Zope 2.2.
