Well it is the administrator account running the
install, don't think I could get any more privileged than
that.
Near as I can tell even though the message says check
privileges, the installer really thinks there is another postgres running,
however there is not. Even with previous installs wiped clean, and processes
cleared out, even server reboot to make sure nothing is left over and
restarted.
If it is ran in interactive mode everything works fine.
I can install interactive but I would prefer to script it.
The original
post in April "Silent install 8.3 diiffers from 8.2" appeared to have the
same problem. I was hoping someone had figured out what was wrong. I have had no
problems silent installing 8.2 versions and I am able to get silent install
to work with 8.3.0 however with same options 8.3.3 does not
work.
Basic options with just:
INTERNALLAUNCH=1 SERVICEDOMAIN="MYDOMAIN"
SERVICEPASSWORD="MYSERVICEPW" SUPERPASSWORD="MYPGPW" PERMITTREMOTE=1
/qr
Once it fails and unwinds I can still run silent
8.2.x, or silent 8.3.0, or interactive 8.3.3, but never works for
silent 8.3.3!

Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Silent install 8.3 diiffers from 8.2 Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:43:44 -0500 From: Jerel.Blakely@xxxxxxx To: pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Has this issue been resolved by anyone? I can install over and over manually but any attempt at silent install fails with the same. > "Service 'PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3' (pgsql-8.3) failed to start. > Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." It works fine with 8.3.0 but not 8.3.3, what changes were made to the installer? I can verify that the previous version is un-installed, make sure the postgres\8.3 directory is clear, and reboot the machine to verify that no leftover processes remain? It still fails every time on silent install, however a manual install blasts right through with no problems. I would like to hand my sa a script and say just run this rather than hand him a script caviated with "Oh and by the way you have to do manual install on all 30 machines."
