My guess is that is the culprit.  Somehow the 4suite
libraries got installed into the wrong python instance.
It sounds like the Zope/python instance is not adding
itself to the windows registry, and the 4suite and pyxml
installations require an instance to be in the registry.
That is bad.

One possibility is to install zope, then REMOVE the python
installation from zope.   That way, you are guaranteed
that every piece of the system (4suite, pyxml, zope) will
use the same installation of python, namely the standalone
one.

------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried everything, uninstalling the standalone Python, registering the Zope
Python (a script I found on the PIL site), forcing Zope to use the
standalone Python..
I tried installing/using Pyana. Same problems.

Then I installed a fresh Zope 2.5.0 on my other XP machine. Same result. And
then........
I installed Zope 2.6.1. on the XP machine (after removing the 2.5.0) with
Pyana and it WORKED. So it has something to do with Zope 2.5.0.
It just won't work with Zope 2.5.0. Can you shed any light on this.
Using 2.6.1 isn't an option for me at the moment. I have to implement an xml
document repository on a Zope 2.5.0 installation. There are several large
projects on this server (wich is not our own server), we can't take the risk
of upgrading now.
So please help!!! I can't do this project without XML-methods (I already
started in March with XML-transform) and there is no 'plan B'.
