Several People (including myself and ChrisW) have come across problems
installing the latest CVS checkout of the PTK.

There have been a number of different errors which seem to be fixed if you
install the PTK in this following order.

* Start Zope
* Go to the Control_Panel/Products
* Remove DemoPortal (If it exists)
* Remove Wizard (If it exists)
* Remove PTKBase (If it exists)
* Remove PTKDemo (If it exists)
* Remove ZCallable (If it exists)
* Checkout the latest CVS version of PTKDemo, PTKBase and ZCallable
* Copy PTKDemo, PTKBase and ZCallable to your zope/lib/python/Products/
directory
* Copy DemoPortal.zexp and Wizard.zexp from zope/lib/python/Products/PTKDemo
to /zope/import
* Back in the Zope Control_Panel/Prodcuts import DemoPortal.zexp and
Wizard.zexp
* Restart Zope

As well as telling everyone a method that seems to work for me, I am
interested to know why it has to be done this way.

This issue has tormented several people including Chris and myself.  Can we
have it fixed please?

Cheers

P.S. This method does not fix my Unauthorised issue with
discussion_thread_view but I have been able to reproduce the error on
several machines using this method to install the PTK.
