I should add that I have no problems running Postgres in Windows 7. The Windows installer works Ok for me. In this thread I am not clear about whether it is postgres data (data written and read by PostgreSQL) or user data that is being discussed.

Shortly, I tried to use functions from my own dll, but got an error "Could not open relation base\16123\16222: No such file or directory". Later I found out, using 'Process Monitor', that for some reason process 'postgres.exe' looked for this relation not in 'C:\PostgreSQL\8.4\data\base\16123\16222' but in 'C:\Users\postgres\AppData\Roaming\MyApplicationName\base\16123\16222' - certainly, there is no such file. >> >> >>> Did you check, that registry key "Data Directory" is set properly in >>> "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PostgreSQL\Installations\postgresql-8.4" >>> folder? >> Usually I don't use standard Windows Installer but take binaries. So there is no such branch in registry. When I tried to make test and install it from Installer I got the same result. :( "Data Directory" was set to PG-specific application dir. > > So this is an issue with an extension of your own?
