Hi Everyone,

I'm totally new to Zope/Plone, but I am following Martin Aspelli's 'Professional Plone Development'. He suggests using GenericSetup, which I think sounds just fine, except I get an error after try to add Generic Setup Tool from the pull down menu.

I added the GenericSetup folder, as instructed in the Readme, to my products folder of my instance.

Any ideas?

The error is:

Site Error

An error was encountered while publishing this resource.

Error Type: BadRequest
Error Value: The id "setup_tool" is invalid - it is already in use.

Troubleshooting Suggestions

* The URL may be incorrect.
* The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect.
* A resource that this resource relies on may be encountering an error.

and the log shows:
