Hi Thanks for the reply. Yes, I saw that "2769" is related to locales. On the machine, I saw a new locale called "C" is installed. I am not sure how it got installed. By default, this locale was getting selected. I did select "English - united states" and try to install. It also failed with the same error. We are using 8.2.4. There is a later version, but we tested our applciation thoroughly with 8.2.4 and so we currently bundle our applciation with this version only. Do you think uninstalling this locale would fix this issue?

Well, searching on error "2769" just seems to say a custom installer step failed. In this case clearly "GetAvailableLocales" - nothing unusual with your locale setup, is there? > MSI (c) (C4:64) [15:59:30:242]: Note: 1: 2769 2: GetAvailableLocales 3: > 1 > MSI (c) (C4:64) [15:59:30:242]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: Error > MSI (c) (C4:64) [15:59:30:242]: Note: 1: 2228 2: 3: Error 4: SELECT > `Message` FROM `Error` WHERE `Error` = 2769 > DEBUG: Error 2769: Custom Action GetAvailableLocales did not close 1 > MSIHANDLEs. > The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this > package.

Because 8.2.15 is the current release for that version. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
