Missing local commands after running zopeskel on windows

Question

I try to create an archetype with zopskel/paster on my newly installed plone 4.2. I have adjusted the buildout.cfg (see below) to get zopeskel.exe and paster.exe generated in the bin folder.

Howerver when I run zopeskel as follows (in develop-eggs folder): ..\bin\zopeskel.exe archetype I get an IOError (see below for output)

From what I understand I should now have local commands when running paster (like add). However when I now run paster (in the develop-eggs/nortek.test03) folder there is no commands.

Is there a bug/flaw in the zopeskel or am I doing something wrong? How do I proceed?

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Plone42\bin\zopeskel-script.py", line 16, in <module>

My buildout.cfg is identical to default except the following:

parts =
    zeo
    instance
    run-instance
    run-zeo
    service
    service-zeo
    zopeskel

[zopeskel]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
unzip = true
eggs =
    Paste
    PasteScript
    ZopeSkel

[EDIT] I tried to follow the instructions in the link provided. However there are several problems that occure: * no paste script is generated in bin folder * I still get exactly the same IOError issue * There are no local commands

I put output from the different commands I ran onto this link: http://pastie.org/4664202

So please help me as I still have the same problem
