Bug reference: 2934
Logged by: inifinity
Email address: priyatam@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.2
Operating system: Windows XP
Description: INSTALL FAILURE - failed to set permissions on the
installed files
Details:
I've been trying to install this from past two days and all I can see is a
an error message towards the end of installation and a log file which I
cannot acccess in my default C:\program files\postrgresql\8.2
the error says to check a log file perm.log but I cannot browse or delete
the *\8.2 folder. says access denied.
I have a admin user account and Im 100% sure I have given the right
username/pwd in the first page of the installation with 'postgresql' as a
superuser (and a diff pwd).
Tried searching all forums but no result.
I just hope someone sees this message and comes up with a solution rather
than ask my cryptic questions in return
Here is the postgresql-8.2.logfile (which I got after running again with
detailed logging)
Property(C): PrimaryVolumeSpaceAvailable = 0
Property(C): PrimaryVolumeSpaceRequired = 0
Property(C): PrimaryVolumeSpaceRemaining = 0
Property(C): INSTALLLEVEL = 1
