Are you connecting to the "console" session on your Win2K3 server or to one of the other two available remote desktop sessions? (To connect to the console session using the RDP client from XP, you need to inclde "/console" at the _end_ of your command line: ie: "mstsc /v:MyRemoteServerName /console". Using the Win2K3 RDP client, I think there is a checkbox to do this.) Don't know if this will help with the PostgreSQL install since I still do all mine at the servers at the moment, but it does work with many other apps that want to be installed "at the console". - Bill > -----Original Message----- > From: pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of koder > Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 1:56 PM > To: pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [GENERAL] Installing PosygreSQL 8.1 on Windows2003 > server in terminal session (remote desktop) > > > Hi, > > I try to install PostgreSQL 8.1.3 on Windows2003 server.
