Thanks for the sanity check ! I though I was being really dumb there :-)
I've installed a few early Zope versions under Solaris and Linux some years 
back, but had not used it since. When I saw X3 coming out with a Windows 
installer, I though they'd made it really easy for once and wanted a quick 
test run on my desktop. Ended up pretty nonplussed by all the stuff dumped 
under site-packages and no really obvious way to launch the damn thing :)
