Cool that it works! I'll also point out the ZopeThree4Two product:

http://cvs.sf.net/viewcvs.py/collective/ZopeThree4Two/

which should help making things easier.

Perhaps you could try this out. If you could write up a document about 
how it all can be made to work on windows we'd be happy to check it into 
our repository!

That looks like it works! You could try to run runalltests.py in the 
tests directory (first you need to install tests/products/FiveTest, and 
you need to download and install ZopeTestCase in lib/python/Testing in 
your Zope).

Have you read doc/manual.txt? That's a work in progress (before today 
most of it was in README.txt), but it should at least explain how you 
can make views work. Also looking at tests/products/FiveTest for example 
code is a good idea.

In general, reading Zope 3 related documentation is also a good idea, to 
get an idea of what the component architecture (adapters, views) are all 
about.
