The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 7851 Logged by: ivano luberti Email address: lube...@archicoop.it PostgreSQL version: 8.4.15 Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits Description:
I know this is probalby a duplicate of bug BUG #7526 but I don't know how to update it with new information so I submit a new one. The same error message raised with 8.3.22 and 9.2.2. But I was then able to install 8.3.22 using the pginstaller found at http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.3.22/win32/ Ok this the new piece of information. Unfortunately pginstaller is available only for 8.3.x. So I'm stuck since I need 8.4.x The bitlog file provides the usual information: Log started 02/05/2013 at 11:13:15 Preferred installation mode : qt Trying to init installer in mode qt Mode qt successfully initialized Could not find registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PostgreSQL\Installations\postgresql-8.4 Data Directory.
