Re: postgresql 8 beta 4 will not install

I assume this happens before you are presented with even the first dialog box?

Please try running the installer with logging enabled:

msiexec /l* c:\pginstlog.txt /i c:\where\ever\postgresql-8.0.0-beta4.msi

 

That should produce a logfile that will hopefully point you in the direction of what's wrong

Subject: [pgsql-hackers-win32] postgresql 8 beta 4 will not install

I've been able to install version 8.0.0 beta 4 on two machines but the third one fails. The Windows Installer starts but after a few seconds the installer widow disappears.

 

I'm using Win2K with all current service packs.

 

Any ideas on what is wrong or how I can make this work?

 

TIA.
