Re: Upgrade Postgres 8.1.2 to 8.1.4

In Windows XP Pro (SP2) I tried to upgrade PostgreSQL server from 8.1.2 to
8.1.4., by using upgrade.bat.
Everything goes nice until end of installation when the following error
apears: "Service 'PostgreSQL Database Server 8.1' (pgsql-8.1) could not be
installed. Verify that you have sufficient priviliges to install system
services" .
I am logged as administrator, Windows XP Pro SP2.
What should I do?

Zlatko

Does anybody has a clue?
Somebody experienced similar problem?
Should I be logged to Windows as regular user (administrator) or as "postgres" service account?

Thanks.

Is PostgreSQL the ONLY thing that got changed? It sounds like you
simply don't have administrative privileges on this system.

You should be logged in as an administrator...

No, nothing changed.
I am the only user of this computer (personal computer). It is the same
account I was using for installing PostgreSQL server.
In fact I had the same problem with upgrading from PostgreSQL 8.0 to 8.1,
then from 8.1 to 8.2...In all theses cases I had to uninstall old version
first and then install new version of the server. I don't want to uninstall
the server this time....

Man, sorry, you've exhausted all of my windows expertise. I'm a unix
guy. I'd suspect some kind of problem with ownership of the files or
something like that.
