Hi all, have anybody installed PgSQL on Windows Vista? I tried yesterday but I fail... on XP and linux i've installed pgsql much times but on vista... nothing to do! Version in 8.2.3 with the installer. If I install with my user account (with administrative rights), the installlation fails on setting file permission, about at 3/4 of the process. If I install with Administrator account, the installer fail when starting the service.. any ideas?
I've got it running on my vista machine, you just need to turn off User Account Control from the Control Panel -> Security Settings -> Other Settings for the duration of the installation.
After install completes you can turn it back on... if you want - personally I leave it off, it's an incredibly annoying "feature".
Note, turning UAC off and on both require reboots. P. -- Paul Lambert Database Administrator AutoLedgers
