[Setup] Products Problem

CPeri,

My plone setup is similar to yours: Windows 2000 (not 2003), with PloneLDAP
products.

Here was my strategy:

1 - Plone install in a folder with no spaces (e.g. c:\Plone_3 instead of
c:\Program Files\Plone_3), using the Windows installer
2 - Copying OpenLDAP dlls to c:\Windows\System32 (or to some other folder
which is in the PATH - set that in the properties of the My Computer Icon).
You can download the OpenLDAP dlls conveniently from
http://svn.kmrc.de/download/distribution/  which is the page go to when you
follow the link from the python-ldap page.
3 - Install python-ldap using easy_install (easy_install is already
installed with Plone by the Windows Installer). Remember to use the
--prefix to point to the Python installed by Plone - the default installs to
the system-wise Python, I think.
4 - Install PloneLDAP using the "old style products" strategy: get the zip
bundle from the PloneLDAP product page at Plone.org and unzip its contents
into the Products folder.
5 - After this, restart the Zope service (or start it if not running).

I dunno if this is the "right" way to get things done, but it worked for me.
After following that algorith, the next step would be going to the Plone
acl_users object and adding there a Active Directory Multi Plugin using the
ZMI. I didn't need to "install" the Product.

Tell me if you need more detailed direction.

Best regards,

Alberto
