Agreed - I am assuming then from looknig at the trace back that Zope is not 
starting because of this. I don't have a Windows box handy to run this 
myself.

I have just created a bug report for the Twisted guys at 
http://twistedmatrix.com/bugs/issue1270 and I am about to ask them about 
another problems we should be ware off about running twisted on windows.

PyCrypto is required if you want to run HTTP over SSL. If you don't want to do 
this then this can be safely ignored.
