The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4701 Logged by: Egbert Teeselink Email address: e...@teeselink.nl PostgreSQL version: 8.3.6-2 Operating system: Windows XP Home NL (32-bit) Description: (minor) MSI Installer fails on subst drives Details:
I have most of my non-OS files in a directory called c:\diskq and use the Windows "subst" command to create a virtual drive Q: that points there. When trying to install PGSQL from the Windows installer in from Q:\etc\pgsql\SETUP.bat, the installer complains that it cannot open postgresql-8.3-int.msi even though it really is located in Q:\etc\pgsql\. The problem is solved by running the setup from c:\diskq\etc\pgsql\SETUP.bat instead of Q:\etc\pgsql\SETUP.bat. A similar error occurs, however, when trying to install *to* a "subst" drive (but, miraculously so, only after a number of files are copied). The problem is easily solved by only installing from and to the same paths on the "real" drive though. Maybe at least worth a FAQ entry? Good work on the installer! -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
