OK. How did you install?

No, absolutely not :-( A couple of quick thoughts - does the problem go away if you copy the runtimes into the PostgreSQL bin directory? The merge module should install them into C:\windows\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700 Also, do you even see the runtimes in that directory following the installation? What about corresponding manifests in C:\windows\WinSxS\Manifests? -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Oracle-compatible database company ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
