I have tried installing Plone 2.5 on two separate machines running Windows XP and keep getting an error during the "initializing Plone site" step of installation. The error pops up a few times - prompting me to click "Okay". After the errors stop, I get the final screen of the install process, but it does not have the check box to have plone start when I click "Finish" for the install. I have also tried to manually start Plone from the links in 'All Programs', but I get the same error (again 3 - 4 times) and it stops.
<br><br>The error I get is:<br>pythonw.exe - The procedure entry point ?PyObject_FromWIN32_FIND_DATAA@@YAPAU_object@@PAU_WIN32_FIND_DATAA@@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library pywintypes24.dll.<br><br>I looked through the archives for this list, and although I don't see this specific error, I did see some similar errors in the install process for Plone on XP. Based on suggestions in those other threads I have tried at various times:
<br>- Installing the latest version of pywin32all (ver 208) and tried reinstalling plone afterwards<br>- Removing prior version of Python from the system and installing plone<br>- One post mentioned MIME errors possibly related to AIM - I'm not getting those errors, but verified that I don't have AIM installed anyway
