I know exactly zip about zope on windows (i'm a linux user), but it looks 
like the zope installer is not finding python on your system ('datetime' is 
a python module; 'DateTime.py' is a Zope module).

You can test your python installation by running python (the version 
specified by the .bat file: C:\Program 
Files\Zope-2.8.8-final\bin\python.exe), and then at the python prompt type: 
from datetime import datetime
and see what happens.

good luck!
