The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 2271 Logged by: Peter laursen Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.1.3.1 Operating system: Win XP SP2 Home - Dansih Description: no privilege to install Details:
I installed 8.1.1.1 successfully some months ago. An update to 8.1.3.1 fails. Server program installs (Files copy, registry values are written) but service does not install due to privilege issue. However my user account is an ADMINISTRATOR account. But as ADMINISTRATOR in WinXP HOME is another implementation than in WinXP PROFESSIONAL, I suspect that the installer does not realize that difference! And I had no problems with 8.1.1.1 of the kind and also not MySQL, Apache and other programs installing services. With XP Home I have no option to grant more privileges, except than logging on as user 'ADMINISTRATOR' from fail-safe mode. However running MSI-installer from failsafe mode is not possible/allowed. :-( I 'worked around' the problem by running the UPGRADE.BAT until MSGBOX with privilege issue occurred. Instead of cancelling the install I then killed MSI from Task Manager. The service that was there from the 8.1.1.1 install starts OK and PGADMIN now identifies the server version as 8.1.3.1 and everything seems to work OK. However this should not occur! ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
