It might well be that the installation was actually successful, afaik 
the only thing the Python interpreter does after the installer is done 
is create the password and compile the Python modules. The latter can be 
skipped entirely (it will take a bit longer to boot Zope the first time, 
but that's about it), the former can be performed manually by calling 
the 'mkzpasswd.py' script (using a Python interpreter to execute it, 
obviously) from the Zope directory, with 'inituser' as its only 
argument. If that works it will ask you for a username and password, 
after it's done it should create a file called 'inituser' that needs to 
be inside your Zope directory when Zope boots up. This should create the 
initial login, so after that it should be possible to go to 
http://localhost[:port]/silva and use that username and password to 
create the Silva root.

Hope this helps, if so please let me know. If you have any idea *why* 
the interpreter fails, btw, please let me know too, since I don't have 
much Windows knowledge and really don't understand the problem (and 
obviously it would be nice to solve it)...

Cheers,
