I downloaded http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller/ and used it to attempt installation of PostgreSQL 8.0.0-beta4 on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition.
Things I changed from defaults are the userid "postgresql", instead of "postgres",
and checked box to "Accept connections on all addreses, not just localhost".
(Note "addreses" in the above label is misspelled, should be "addresses".)
Results:
initdb.exe - Ordinal Not Found
The ordinal 2821 could not be located in the dynamic link library LIBEAY32.dll.
PostgreSQL 8.0.0-beta4
Failed to run initdb: 128!
Please see the logfile in 'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta4\tmp\initdb.log'.
Note! You must read/copy this logfile before you click OK, or it will be automatically removed.
I looked at the logfile before clicking on OK, and it was empty, 0 bytes.
The installation rolled itself back.
