[Product-Developers] Re: Product installed but not listed as "installed" - remains in the "installable" list for portal_quickinstaller

[David Bain]

Tim,
Thanks for the feedback. It seems to be a problem peculiar to a single zope

suggest. I've tried it on two other zope instances running Plone 3.0.x and
it installs incident free.
