The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4988 Logged by: Email address: jeremy.rosenb...@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 8.7.3.1 Operating system: Windows XP Description: Installer fails when creating password Details:
I was installing for the first time and entered a password that contained special characters #$% for the postgres user. The installer blew-up after the user was created but now I'm totally stuck since it's not obvious how to remove or change the password of the postgres user that was created just before the installer failed. Uninstalling won't clean it up and reinstalling keeps finding the user with a password that causes CREATE~1.EXE to abort during install. So, I'm not forming a very positive first impression of PostgreSQL -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
