Обсуждение: BUG #2893: Non-standard theme explodes the installer.
The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 2893 Logged by: Ilya Kogan Email address: ikogan@cs.ohiou.edu PostgreSQL version: 8.1.6 Operating system: Windows XP Pro SP-2 Description: Non-standard theme explodes the installer. Details: I was trying to install 8.1.6 via the MSI installer and would keep getting "Could not get system metrics: 8" when trying to get past "Installation Notes" screen. After reading a bit about GetSystemMetrics, I decided to switch from my non-standard theme (Some msstyle downloaded from something that was googled) to Windows Classic. Surprisingly, the error went away and I was free to finish installing. I also tried installing 8.2 previously and that went without a hitch.
To me this sounds like the theme is broken. Especially since we only use it to look for terminal services stuff iirc. it'dbe interesting to see if this can be reproduced on a different non standard theme. /Magnus ------- Original message ------- From: Ilya Kogan <ikogan@cs.ohiou.edu> Sent: 1-14-'07, 20:05 > > The following bug has been logged online: > > Bug reference: 2893 > Logged by: Ilya Kogan > Email address: ikogan@cs.ohiou.edu > PostgreSQL version: 8.1.6 > Operating system: Windows XP Pro SP-2 > Description: Non-standard theme explodes the installer. > Details: > > I was trying to install 8.1.6 via the MSI installer and would keep getting > "Could not get system metrics: 8" when trying to get past "Installation > Notes" screen.

We don't call GetSystemMetrics() on XP anymore in 8.2, that codepath only runs on Windows 2000. //Magnus
