Hi. I've tried to install postgree in Vista in program files and the service does not start. I gave manually full privileges to the posgre user to data folder, and still the service does not start. Finally, I installed posgre database out of "program Files" as Thomas suggested and I gave full privileges to posgre user to data folder and everything works correctly :) Do you know how can I install posgre in "program Files" in Vista?. I might some users of my application would like to install it in "porgram Files" folder :(. How can I Solve this problem? Thanks in advance!!!
