The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 6228 Logged by: Craig Email address: lumberjackches...@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 8.2 Operating system: Windows Server 2008 R2 Description: Failed to set permissions on the installed files Details:
Hi, I have read the FQA and understand that 8.2 is not supported on Windows 7, but I have successfully installed it on my development server running server 2008 R2 before without this problem. I think that this may be a windows issue rather than a postgre bug, but I thought I'd ask for help anyway. Thank you in advance for any advice. The exact words of any error message you see when the installation fails: FAILED TO SET PERMISSIONS ON THE INSTALLED FILES. PLEASE SEE THE LOGFILE IN C:/Program Files(x86)/PostgreSQL/8.2/tmp/pgperm.log The exact version of PostgreSQL you are installing 8.2.21 Whether you installed a 32-bit or 64-bit release of PostgreSQL: 32-bit The operating system and version you are using, eg: "Windows Sever 2008 R2 Standard" Whether you are running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of your operating system 64-bit How you ran the installer.
