Someone posted a solution to this in the last couple of days on this list. Have a good look... Cheers Antoine On 30/11/06, adurrant@xxxxxxxxx <adurrant@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi, I apologize for being yet another noob posting about this problem. I have spent 2 days searching the archives and the net for a solution to no avail. Hence my post here. The problem I am having is on install of 8.1.5 it fails at the initdb call. In checking the log, it seems to fail when it creates the first data directory. It gets past the setting file permissions, but when it tries to create data/global it spits out an error message saying that "C:\Program Files" cannot be created. File exists. (Please excuse the fragmented message, I'm going off memory here). Of course at this point it rolls back the install. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I would truly appreciate any help. Thanks.
