Hmm, if by that you mean 8.0, a lot of things have changed since then. I'm not even sure we're using the same installer technology now that we did then. But in any case it does work for an awful lot of other people. I installed 9.0rc1 on a Windows 7 VM just a few weeks ago, and it worked fine. Of course, that does nothing to solve your problem. But we do need to try to understand what is different about your system than the systems of people who are not having this problem, because otherwise it's pretty hard to fix. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
