[Zope] how to install win32com?

[Phil Harris]

Seb,

The easiest way is to install a full version of Python 1.5.2, then install
win32all.  Then change your start script/service parameters to use the newly
installed Python instead of the built-in Zope one.

The beauty of this is that any of the self-installing libs, e.g. PIL are so
much easier to get working with Zope.  It also means that you have one
standard install of Python.
