There is no python 1.5 anymore too ;)
See python.org, windows download. There is a link
for up to date (and your zopes python version matching)
win32 extension.

Maybe the author can answer this.

It isnt there anymore. Zope2.7 has
a different startup. You can change
the python interpreter zope uses if 
you look into the start files in your
instances bin directory.
At least there should be something like
runzope.bat (for windows) I dont know
if there is a zopectl.bat too. Change
every occurence of the python interpreter
here. Make sure you use the same python
version (2.3.4 or so)
