Thanks for the vote of confidence Adrian.
However,
being 2 months shy of 68, there may be enough time left for me to continue
learning PostgreSQL/PostGIS and Delphi to accomplish what I want to
accomplish.
I don't feel I should divert time to researching the
intricacies of PostgreSQL installation. That's why I am asking the experts for
help.
If anyone has some thoughts or suggestions the log is REALLY
below in this e-mail.
The first 90% of the log is the installation prep
and unpacking the different elements showing no problems until - (the first
problem appears to be -- "Starting the database server...
Executing cscript
//NoLogo "C:\Program
Files\PostgresPlus\8.4SS\installer\server\startserver.vbs"
postgresql-8.4
Script exit code: 1"
- but I have no idea what this
actually means.)
Script output:
User account 'DESKTOP\postgres'
already exists.
User 'DESKTOP\postgres' already member of 'Users'
group.

This suggests that - it failed to start the postgresql server.
But, I would love you see -what is the output after of initcluster.vbs
script.
You won't find output of initcluster.vbs, if you're using existing data
directory.

It's a large file. I'm

file.

Actually I was thinking you might
want to browse the file to see if anything
stands out. Most of the issues
I have seen on this list relative to Windows
installs relate to
permissions, so that would be a good place to start.
