I just got this to work after multiple attempts. The problem seemed to be that windows still hasn't got used to spaces in file names. and so thought that C:\Program was supposed to be a program....
Here's what I did (Windows XP 32): move DIYPloneStyles folder to C:\ run cmd cd C:\Program Files\Plone 3\Python python C:\DIYPloneStyles\bin\generator.py --productname=MyTheme A folder named MyTheme will now show up in C:\Program Files\Plone 3\Python. Note: no extension used on "python", and "=" after "productname". Hope this helps, Iain Chris Chambers wrote: > > Installed OK in Plone 3 on Windows XP x64.
