Hello,
Has anybody had such problem - I tested Mammoth PostgreSQL for Windows and I
did not like that it completely killed my cygwin, did not allow console
commands to the database, etc., and then I uninstalled it.
Since then the cygwin refused to operate properly.
From Command Prompt I was told to use iolo.com to clean the registry. I did
so - but the problems persist.
The problems are -
When I try to install cygwin it wants to get installed in -
C:\Programme\CommandPrompt\mpgsql
(Where does cygwin knows about this from?)
Then, if I change this manually, PostgreSQL still puts its data there. Also,
the folders -
C:\Programme\CommandPrompt\mpgsql\data\base\16990\pgsql_tmp
and
C:\Programme\CommandPrompt\mpgsql\data\base\16993\pgsql_tmp
Can not be deleted in any way - they are 'in use'. No matter how many times
I restart the computer. I use Windows XP Professional that was installed in
March 2003, since then I have installed and uninstalled many programs - and
I have never had such a thing.
I am really desperate. If anybody can help.
Thank you and best regards,
Iavor
