If the server didn't start I'd have expected to see an error during the installation - was there none? Can you post the installation log - you should find it in your temp directory, normally C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp Make sure you replace any occurrences of the password you selected with XXXX or similar before you send the log. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
