Hmm, you may have been using an old "distribution tab" version
(PTK v. 0.8.1?)  Those versions are no longer part of the
intended use of PTK.  Have a look at the INSTALL.txt on
www.zope.org:

  http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK/INSTALL

Make sure you do the part about importing Wizard.zexp and
DemoPortal.zexp.

If you are still stuck, please let me know (and CC the zope-ptk
list!)
