Обсуждение: BUG #9308: The application failed to initialize properly

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      9308
Logged by:          Patrick Wege
Email address:      patrick.wege@bioscitec.de
PostgreSQL version: 8.4.20
Operating system:   Windows XP SP2
Description:

If I try installing or running the postgresql 8.4.20 on Windows XP SP2
machine I get an "The application failed to initialize properly
(0xc0150002). Click on OK to terminate the application." Error! No matter
what executable I run. (postgresql.exe, psql.exe, ... even pgAdmin3.exe)
This is no issue on Windows XP3 and above.

Thanks,
Patrick

Well, after installing the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1
Redistributable Package (x86)" it is working again.

Why did the compiler change, without a hint in the release-notes? In
version 8.4.19 the C++ 2008 runtime was not necessary.

Kind regards,
Patrick

Uh, the release notes are for the source code changes, not for changes
that are part of the binary build process.  I don't think that binary
build process has release notes though.

Installer installs the VC++ runtimes. You can confirm from the installation
log. There is no change from installer perspective in 8.4.20.

    Yes, the installer
        installs VC++ 2005. This is sufficient for 8.4.19. But
      not for version 8.4.20. The installer of version 8.4.20 does
      install CV++2005 too, but I have to install VC++ 2008 to get it
      working.

      As a result the installer of 8.4.20 hangs at the end of the
      process if VC++ 2008 is not installed. I have checked the
      installers of 8.4.19 and 8.4.20 in the exact same environment.
      (Virtual machine Win XP SP2 with no VC++ installed)

      Please check, possibly I am wrong,
      Patrick

Yes, we could reproduce this. Will provide update installer for 8.4 Windows
soon.

Thanks for reporting this.
