Hi,
This seems to be
discussed a lot in forums but I haven't really found a solution to this
problem.
The
problem:
1. We have a
customer trying to install our product on his machine (with special
configuration, more details below). As part of our product installation, our
installer calls the installation of PostgreSQL (version 8.1) after our
installation succeeds.
2. Postgre
installation fails, showing a message box with "initdb create process
failed: access denied".
3. The customer
swears he is using administrator type user.
4. Our installation
uses the large msi with some options (such as user definition etc.), this
installation worked on all machines tested (2000, 2000 via terminal, XP,
2003).
The
system:
The system is a
win 2000 machine inside VMWare, run on a Unix machine.
Connection is via
Terminal or VMWare client. Both ways intallation fails.
Our product is
windows based and cannot be installed on Unix.
Note: We tried to install directly
with the installation msi, but that failed as well because of terminal
session.
All posts and
replies I read, claimed this was a credentials issue (the initdb error). If
anyone has any idea, it would be appreciated.
We would prefer
installing it using the large msi with our options as we usually
do.
Best
Regards,
