Hello, With the postgresql-8.2-int.msi, i used to do a succesful install with the following options
BASEDIR=C:\Postgres DATADIR=D:\PostgresData INTERNALLAUNCH=1 DOSERVICE=1 CREATESERVICEUSER=1 SERVICEACCOUNT=postgres SERVICEDOMAIN=%COMPUTERNAME% SERVICEPASSWORD=123qwe-. DOINITDB=1 ENCODING=UTF-8 PERMITREMOTE=1 SUPERUSER=DBA SUPERPASSWORD=supersecret With postgresql-8.3-int.msi I always run into the following security error: "Service 'PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3' (pgsql-8.3) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." When pressing cancel, I should expect a cleanup, but the bin and lib directories in the basedir still remain. This together with 6 postgres.exe processes .... I am using exactly the smae options as above, and I have removed the postgres user before starting the silent install. With 8.2 I could do this over and over again, with 8.3 it seems not to work. - Syra Didelez - Apogee Portal Deployment Manager Apogee Portal Hotfix Manager Agfa-Gevaert N.V.
