Purely out of curiosity ...

All support for Windows XP was dropped in April of last year ... and this
was many years after mainstream support was dropped (2009).

What possible reason could you have for still running Windows XP?
Furthermore, do you actually expect application vendors to still support
it with their applications?


I work with every variation of Windows (XP/Win 7/Win 8) and Win Servers.
Moved last customer off Server 2003 yesterday...

I simply tried to install 9.4 on XP - didn't work.  You move on.  It would
have been nice having some indication not to try...

9.3 seems to work quite nicely on XP.

George

In an effort to actually be helpful ...

Do you _need_ 9.4? Can you go back (possibly to 9.2) to a version that was
in use closer to when XP was still supported? I don't know if that will
help, but it seems like a reasonable thing to try.

Hi Glenn,

No, and neither did I receive any responses.

I did find the following reference that 9.4 is officially not supported on XP, Server 2003 or Vista, however I have not seen anything "official" on the
PostgreSQL or Enterprise DB sites.

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CANFyU97_WyAXjge_kEGR62MQwOVy0ExjBqec9cL8stLKAkWuYg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

In fact, the Enterprise DB site states: The 9.x installers are supported on
.... and Windows XP and above.

All the best,
George

Hi George,
Did you find a resolution? I have exactly the same problem. Same postgres
version, same xp with sp3, same error log.
Thanks in advance

Hi List,

Trying to install PostgresSQL 9.4.1 on Window XP Pro Service Pack 3.

Installation is aborted with the following error:

Unknown error while running C:\Documents and Settings\George Weaver\Local
Settings\Temp\postgresql_installer_dc46cfee2c\getlocales.exe

bitrock_installer.log output below.

Would this be an issue with trying to install on XP?

Thanks
George
