I was able to install on a another 2003 server, so it must be a problem with my machine. Although I sure wish I knew what the problem is, since the other server is almost identical. It's a good thing in the end though because that server is a much better test platform.

Did you check the validity of that particular > installer package, to avoid "corrupted .msi file"? It could also be a corrupt database on the machine itself, in the system databases. I have no idea what to do about that, thoguh :-) But if it succeeds on all other machines (with *the same download*), and consistently fails on this one, that sounds like it could be it. Can you install other MSI based packages on this machine? //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
