Cheryl, I digged through you log, and stumbled:
####################################################### MSI (c) (B0:94): Product: PostgreSQL 8.0-beta2-dev3 -- The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2819. The arguments are: Service_Dialog, esvcacct, ### MSI (c) (B0:94): Database string pool is corrupted. #### ####################################################### For me this looks like a corrupted installer package - or some other reading problems. Did you check the validity of that particular installer package, to avoid "corrupted .msi file"? Are you logged in locally to the server? Local Administrator? There are various reports about problems with remote-console-installation (but they do usually appear later :)) ) Harald -- GHUM Harald Massa Harald Armin Massa Reinsburgstraße 202b 70197 Stuttgart 0173/9409607 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
