The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 3947 Logged by: Lee Ottaway Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.3.0 Operating system: Vista Home Premium Description: Unable to Initialize Data Cluster Details:
There appears to a problem installing the new 8.3 installer package. We've only tested it on Vista so far but it definitely doesn't. At the point that it has to initialize the data cluster it reports an error when doint initdb = 1 with "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail." If we set the application log to detailed it writes the following at the end "Action 16:40:01: RunInitdb. Initializing database cluster (this may take a minute or two)... MSI (s) (F8:EC) [16:40:01:936]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=RunInitdb,ActionType=3073,Source=BinaryData,Targ [EMAIL PROTECTED],CustomActionData=1033;C:\pgSQL\;C:\pgSQL\data\;C:\pgSQL\shar e\;5432;1;English_United Kingdom;WIN1252;admin;fsadmin;LeePC;bridgeit_sa;fsadmin;;) MSI (s) (F8:BC) [16:40:01:951]: Invoking remote custom action.

I can also confirm that 8.2.5 installs with exactly the same settings with no problem. Any ideas?
