[Setup] Executing command setupSite.py failed

Wed Jul 12 13:47:19 UTC 2006

(resubmitting post as I screwed up last time and didn't create a new thread... 
any help much appreciated!)

Hi all - I'm trying to set up the Plone 2.5 Release (build 5466, but
I've had this same problem with about 4 different previous builds) on my
Windows XP system, and I'm getting an error that other people have
already mentioned in this list a couple of months back. The error comes
just before the installer finishes (while it's attempting to set up the
Plone site) and the message is:

"Executing the command setupSite.py' failed. Index error: String index
out of range."

It appears to be some issue with the mime types (see log below). The 
installer claims to have completed successfully, but the Plone site
won't load and I can't access the ZMI either.

Below is an extract of the postinstall - does anyone have any ideas what
the problem could be? Most of the previous threads mentioning this
problem suggest it would be fixed after the 2.5 release - is this not
the case?

Thanks guys,
Sheridan
