The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4705 Logged by: Holger Rogge Email address: Holger@RoggeSoft.de PostgreSQL version: 8.3.6.1 Operating system: Windows XP #SP3 Description: Software developer Details: I tried to install your software for testing it by using the just downloaded one-click-installer (postgresql-8.3.6-1-windows.exe), but got following error-message shortly after the first splash-screen: "error.installing.runtimes"! I've checked my virenscanner (McAfee Enterprise 8.5) and my firewall (Sygate 5.5 build 2710) but nothing was blocked by that apps. My installed .NET-Framework has version 3.0 with SP1 Best regards Holger Rogge

Hmm - that's a missing error message which I've now fixed. The installer is basically trying to run: cscript //NoLogo "%TEMP%\postgresql_installer\installruntimes.vbs" "%TEMP%\postgresql_installer\vcredist_x86.exe" Those files are probably still there as the installer aborted - can you try running the command and see if there's any more helpful errors? The should also be an installation log in %TEMP% (look for bitrock*.log) which may shed some light on what's happened. Regards, Dave. --=20 Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

I wasn't aware that there is a policy to disable the scripting host. The installer certainly won't work without it as it uses vbscript for most of the post-installation tasks. You could either enable it, or try the MSI installer which is built using different technology (http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows) -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

The page I pointed you to starts with the text: "There are two installers for Windows available, aimed at different users". The MSI installer is the one known as pgInstaller, described on that page as: pgInstaller is an Windows Installer package that offers advanced configuration options and the ability to be easily embedded in other installers. As an MSI package, it is also ideally suited for deployment across a network using Group Policy. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

Well, no - there isn't an installer in the '-no-installer.zip' file. Try the one that doesn't say -no-installer (or -symbols). -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

The files are described on the download page for each version - for example, the 8.3.6 page (http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.3.6/win32/) has: This is the PostgreSQL Installer for Windows. postgresql-8.3.6-2.zip is the multi-language version of the installer. > I was now able to install your software without problems and test myself by > trying using it! :-) > > Thank you very much for your time and your help!
