Hi Umesh,
I am sorry to say that this method is not possible due to the fact that i want to deploy my application to a system where i do not know whether there is a postgres.
Also, i do not know where it would be, if there is one.
So my postgres installation is a addition to a possible already installed one.
I am pretty sure your way would work, because at *nix, it does. But windows is different... in many ways. Maybe i have to deploy the binary instead of wrapping the installer....
Thanks anyway. You do not need to check, i will try :)

Hi Peter,
Say you have installed PostgreSQL in C:/PostgresA directory... make a copy of this folder as C:/PostgreSQLB... edit the conf file say postgres.conf(this should be in /data directory) file of second server in C:/PostgreSQLB & locate the port & change it to 5433... then you can start both servers with
C:\PostgresA>initdb -D /<path2PostgresADataDir>
C:\PostgresB>initdb -D /<path2PostgresBDataDir>
Pls note that I haven't checked this thing..if you want me to check then gimme 1 day..I would check it & let you know..
Thanks,
Umesh

Hi Umesh,
Thanks for the fast reply, but how can i install the second, third,.... postgres? As mentioned, the installer comes up with a simple change dialogue.

Hi Peter,
I think it is possible you can run multiple servers on a single machine, provided on different port & data directory.
Thanks,
Umesh

Subject: [ADMIN] Several postgres installation on windows possible?
Hi Guys,
I like to deploy a application based on postgres and i am pretty
unsure whether it is possible to have several postgres installation
on windows running in parallel.
The normal installer comes up with a "change dialogue" if i try to
install a second time or postgres is already installed on the target
machine and i run my setup with the postgres installer included.
Thanks for reading and answering,
Peter
