Обсуждение: Windows 2000 Installation Issue

Hello,

I have fiddled about with the Postgres 8.0 Intallation
on Windows 2000 now for a couple days, refusing to ask
for help and instead digging away in the archives
section in an attempt not to bug anyway with a silly
question from a beginner.  No luck as of yet, thus my
patience is growing thin.

I have downloaded the zipped file to my desktop,
unzipped it into a folder named Postgres8.0.  When I
double click the file to begin the Windows
Installation, select my language, click "Start>" I get
the following error message:

Error
Failed to create process: 2!

This is a freshly installed version of Windows 2000
Professional.  File system is NTFS.  Yesterday the
event viewer mentioned something about an MUI wrapper.

Could someone please lend me a hand if you could or if
the information provided isn't sufficient enough, let
me know what you need.

Sincerely,

Marc

Maybe try to run the installer from the command line with more logging
options. Perhaps it will give a better clue about the error. The
parameters for msiexec can be found here:

proddocs/en-us/msiexec.mspx

You want the /L parameter.
