That sounds really strange. What parts are those that go in, actually? ;-) Specifically, which of the following do you get: libgeos.dll, libproj.dll, pgsql2shp.exe, shp2pgsql.exe, liblwgeom.dll, lwpostgis.sql, spatial_ref_sys.sql, create_undef.pl, postgis_restore.pl, postgis_proc_update.sql, rebuild_bbox_caches.pl (or not get) > I checked > the option to install Postgis in Template1, but find I am > unable to either restore any spatial tables, nor am I able to > load sql scripts created with shp2pgsql.

In the current version, that file is now called lwpostgis.sql. What exactly is the erorr msg? //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
