I didn't pay attention to the used OS in the first place.
On windows you could try to add the modules path by editing the
zope.conf file (e.g. C:\Zope-Instance\etc\zope.conf)

If that doesn't work you should hav a look in your C:\Zope-Instance\bin
folder. The file runzope defines a PYTHONPATH variable.

I just checkt with version 2.7.0 so I don't know if it's the same on
2.6.x.
