I am working on Linux based Systems and install several times postgresplus-8.4.1.2 binary and faced no issues. But Today I need to install it on Windows XP based system and fail to install it correctly. I faced to issues :
One is : could not connect to server : Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/Ip connections on port 5432?
Second is while installing PostGis1.4 fail to install correctly . But I need it also.
