As you requested, I tested Zope 2.7.6.B2 with Quantax on Windows (XP Prof SP2).

During startup, I get the following log:

2005-04-24T15:41:43 DEBUG(-200) FileStorage create storage C:\Program Files\Quantax/var/Data.fs

When I upgrade the Pytonwin Installation to release 204 and changed sitecustomize.py to point to it (see Collector 1711), 

I got the following error during statup:

 C:\Program Files\Quantax\etc>"C:\Program Files\Zope\bin\python.exe" -O "C:\Program Files\Zope\lib\python\Zope\Startup\run.py" -C "C:\Program Files\Quantax\etc\zope.conf"

    hevent = win32event.CreateEvent(sa, 0, 0, event_name)
 TypeError: The object is not a PySECURITY_ATTRIBUTES object

After it started with the new build, it issued a complaint as attached when trying to launch Excel as a COM object.

All this worked fine with 2.7.5. So I conclude that something with the installation of PyWin is wrong.

Best regards, Martin
