Success: I got ZopePTK to install properly (an hour ago).

Some Possibly Useful Notes:

1. I had trouble with the directions; I kept trying to import the
DemoPortal.zexp in the wrong place; it needs to go right in the products
folder (not in PTKBase nor PTKDemo)

2. The Product was open because the "Help" object depends on some "Unknown"
product even after a zope restart ... anyways it looks like this is not
vitally important.

3. There appears two Portal objects in the add object button of every folder:
one called "Portal" and the other "Portal Folder", for which I found no
documentation anywhere.

4. I created a Portal Folder, which like for Ray here, got me nothing exciting

5. I deleted it and created a "Portal" and the install died on the third
screen ... something about _getOb not being found.

6. On a hunch, I recreated a "Portal Folder", and within that created a
"Portal" and that installed properly all the way.

I am not sure if that is how it was intended, but perhaps that will help you
Ray.

The "Portal Folder" is just the standard Zope Folder object with some
added methods to support the PTK content manager interface. I'll make it
not show up from the main Add menu.

This is certainly not supposed to be happening. A traceback would be
helpful!
