Running Windows XP Pro. Have been successfully using and deploying postgres for 2 years. When I try to Uninstall PostgreSQL 8.3 using Windows Add/Remove Programs I get this message: Service "PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3' (pgsql-8.3) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. I have tried the following: Created and logged on as various users as members of Administrators group. Deleted the 'postgres' user (is this a problem?) Removed all references to postgres in the registry. Rebooted Removed the PostgreSQL Service from the service list. (sc delete pgsql-8.3) Deleted the whole Postgres 8.3 directory in Program Files. I have worked on this for 6 hours today to no avail. GRRRR. Desperate for some suggestions?? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
