This is much more difficult than it needs to be...

Instead: start Zope in the foreground (under Unix:
"bin/zopectl fg"; under Windows:
set EVENT_LOGFILE=some_file
runzope).

Under Unix, you must not have turned "debug-mode off".
You will see log messages on the terminal (detailing reasons why
(and which) product failed).

Under Windows, look into your logfile ("some_file" above).
