Hi Lars, I've successfully installed Plone in many virtual machine instances, though not on Windows guests. My setup has been Linux virtual machines on Virtualbox running on Windows XP SP3.
Are you using python 2.4? Have you tried downloading Plone again (in case of a broken download)? Are you committed to running on Windows? I think you'll find more people working on *nix, than Windows, and thus more support for *nix-based installs. Maybe try using a different virtual machine (VMWare, Virtualbox), in case M$ Virtual PC is the culprit.

In the Virtual PC IÆve successfully installed a copy of Windows XP SP2. Now IÆm trying to install Plone in this virtual machine. However, I get some errors during the installation (when running buildout), and although it finishes itÆs impossible to start the Plone Controller and I notice that the Plone Windows Service (Zope instance) isnÆt present in the list of available Windows services. The errors are the following: 1. Executing the command æbootstrap.pyÆ failed SystemExit: 1 2. Executing the command æbuildout-script.pyÆ failed IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: æC:\\Program Files\\Plone\\bin\\buildout-script.pyÆ 3. Executing the command æcluster-control-script.pyÆ failed IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: æC:\\Program Files\\Plone\\bin\\cluster-control-script.pyÆ 4. Executing the command æplonectl-script.pyÆ failed IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: æC:\\Program Files\\Plone\\bin\\plonectl-script.pyÆ I clicked OK on all 4 errors which was the only option. Are these things occurring as a result of Plone being installed in a virtual machine? Thank you for any advice.
