Hi.
I've tried to install postgree in Vista in program files and the service
does not start. I gave manually full privileges to the posgre user to data
folder, and still the service does not start.
Finally, I installed posgre database out of "program Files" as Thomas
suggested and I gave full privileges to posgre user to data folder and
everything works correctly :)
Do you know how can I install posgre in "program Files" in Vista?. I might
some users of my application would like to install it in "porgram Files"
folder :(. How can I Solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!!!
