Hmm, I wonder if your Zope Instance isn't pointing to the 
location of the Archetypes directory correctly?  I have mine set 
up with etc/zope.conf containing:

products /home/sdeibel/work/zope/Plone-2.0.5

And that's where Archetypes is located.

Wing reads etc/zope.conf and looks for this among other 
configuration values that point Zope at the various bits of code 
it semi-automagically finds.

Hope that helps!
