first let me say if that was you, max m., answering my last post in the plone user group, thanks
but still trying to install mxmCounter
i have tried this now on 2 separate plone installations on 2 different pc's with same result. i would give up except this product is ideal for me and need to understand the product install process for future reference as well
what i have done:
1. create and populate C:\Program Files\Plone 2\Zope\lib\python\products\mxm_counter\ folder with product files
2. restart plone, it appears i have a 'good install' i say this because mxmcounter shows up in the zope/control panel/products, and i can get properties, (version 1.1.0) and the readme has the readme.txt contents.
3. go to my plone site 'root' and go to add mxmCounter by selecting it from the drop down box, here's the strange part, after clicking mxmcounter, the screen flashes and just goes back to the starting point, the mxmcounter doesn't stay high lighted allowing me to select/click the 'add' button so i can complete the process??
i was expecting something similar to the add process for the fsCounter product where after you select/click the product in the dropdown box, it stays highlighted, then you select/click the add button, and you get a new screen where there are some id's/start counts/etc to answer, and then the installed product shows up with all the other current plone site objects?
did i miss some intermediate step after the 'zope' install and then adding to my plone site??
sorry this is dragging on, would appreciate very much help on this.

Try looking in your site root if there isn't an object with the id 'mxm_counter'
