I was about to have a go at building my first zen sub theme.
Installed files as described in documentation, and after navigating to the theme admin page next to the image of the starterkit icon the message says that:
"This version is incompatible with the 6.4 version of Drupal core", (and the toggle box in crossed out by default).
I am running 6.4 on a test site and downloaded Zen for drupal 6.
Can someone please advise,
TIA - :0)

.info file
I believe that all you have to do is edit the .info file so that the versions match, it's a minor pain. Drupal is reading that file everytime it checks for updates, so if you upgrade to 6.6 you'll have to do it again if you don't want to see the error.

can remain core = "6.x"
lipcpro, this is not true for me.
I have my development base theme as a subtheme of zen, and multiple sub subthemes based on my subtheme. I have all the .info files staying at core = "6.x", at the top and bottom of the file, but do keep the version of zen updated ("6.x-1.0-beta3").
So I believe the drupal version can remain as core = "6.x". It's the zen version that gets updated.
Renaee, did you clear the cache? That might do it, as the .info file is cached.
thanks but had already done that...
After reading the comments in the .info file supplied with the starter kit, I assumed that this needed to be done, so changed it to read:
core = 6.4, where it previously read core = 6.x
I also changed it down the very bottom of the .info file where it reads
; Information added by drupal.org packaging script on 2008-09-15
version = "6.x-1.0-beta3"
core = "6.x"
project = "zen"
datestamp = "1221475935"
changed the core to be 6.4 there as well but no affect.
So any other suggestions most welcome!
thankyou,
Renaee.
re clearing cache
Hi there - have just tried this now but it does not work...
I am stuck, may have to search around in the mail drupal support forum i think.
Problem solved
Don't edit your .info file with Dreamweaver!
as soon as I deleted the .info file and started again from scratch using Text Editor it was fine.
here is the thread I followed to find this solution if anyone is interested:

was the Dreamweaver Drupal extension installed?
Hi Renaee, did you have http://xtnd.us Drupal API extension installed into your Dreamweaver? Also, what version of DW are/were you using?
