<pre wrap="">Hi, I'm trying to install 2.8.5 on my windows machine.
I do not have Visual C++ or .NET. Is there any way to compile are
install Zope with any sort of free software available?
Thanks,

This is just an alternate solution ...<br>
<br>
I got Ubuntu Linux (recommended by some Zope listers (thanks!)) and it
installed perfectly on my Dell Windows XPS the first time I tried it.
I had it partion my primary drive and I can now boot either Windows
and Ubuntu Linux. <br>
<br>
I then had the joy of compiling from source - (1 minute of joy spread
over 3 days - but at least I didnt have to buy dinner).<br>
