Windows XP pro. I went to the postgres web site, downloads, clicked on the binary package and selected windows. It gave me a file called Postgresql-8.3.7-1-windows.exe

When I run that I hit next for the postgres directory, then after hitting next for the data directory I get the error. I kept all defaults for directories because I want to keep my existing data etc.

What OS are you running? How did you go about upgrading?

Debian/Ubuntu will use --integer-datetimes by default. If the machine
was once compiled from source you could see the problem.

RedHat/Cent/Fedora has long used the incorrect default of floating based
timestamps. If you downloaded the wrong package from pgsqlrpms then you
could run into the error (pgsqlrpms has both --integer-datetimes and
floating based packages (for compatibility).
