Install of Plone 2.5 on Windows 2K Fails

*sigh*

If your up for debugging .. I have some hints.. One would be
at line 50
putting a import pdb; pdb.set_trace() and running it again..
 

Its probably a issue with you registry.  Note sure who is
coding the
windows stuff.

You could try:
for ext, mt in [(x, y) for x, y in
pymimetypes.types_map.items() if x]:

But that isnt a long term solution.

I ran into this a couple of months ago. It's caused by an
empty registry
entry under Mimetypes. Some program installs a mime type for
itself
incorrectly.

Alas, I can't remember which one it is, but the setup
newsgroup for
plone may still have my original message lying around in it.
The
solution is to delete that particular mimetype registry key;
it's not
used by anything.
