Yes - that would be the first place to look for a clue. We haven't
tried Zope out internally on win2K yet, so I can't really speak 
intelligently on the matter right now. But, since that's never 
stopped me before... :^)  

The win32 service support is based on Mark Hammonds win32 extensions 
(win32service in particular). A good place for an enterprising 
individual to start would be to take Zope out of the picture by 
installing a clean Python1.5.2 on win2K with the win32 extensions 
and see if any of Mark's win32 service demos (I believe there is 
at least one) will run. If anyone takes me up on this, I'd be 
_very_ interested in the results (as I won't have time for a while
yet to get to this myself).

Hope this helps!
