Install Error!!!

Postby heatfan03 » Fri Jan 25, 2008 8:29 pm

Failed to run initdb: 1!
Please see the logfile in 'C:Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.2/tmp/initdb.log
Note you must read/copy this logfile before you click OK or it will be automatically removed.

I made a copy of that file in the folder didnt do anything and when i hit the ok button on that window the program uninstalls the data already completed for the program

I have tried downloading again and such any help appreciated !!!

Make sure that you right click and run the installation file as an administrator.

Best regards,

tried that and no luck.
Also tried deleting the data that the file in question said to delete. No luck either

Hit CTRL-ALT-DELETE. In the Task Manager click on the "Processes" tab. Do you see "postgres.exe" listed?
