Caveat:  I haven't run Windows at *all* for years now.  That said:

  1. Run 'regedit.exe', and search for keys related to 'zope' or
    'python'.  If you have no other Zope or Python stuff on your
     machine, zap all such keys.

  2. Try this on another, "fresh" machine (one with no preexisting
     Zope / Python install).


  3. Ensure that you install Zope into an NTFS partition, rather than
     a FAT variant (likely superstition at this point).

Hope that helps,


Tres.
