I'm having issues installing PostgreSQL 8.0 Beta Build 20040809 on Windows XP Home with SP2.
I'm having two different problems. First problem is when it comes time to initialize the database with initdb. This fails and I get "Failed to create process for initdb: 1058!" as an error message. My next instinct was to just run initdb myself manually by telling the installer not to run it. This ran fine until it came time to start the service. I got an error that I had insufficient permissions to start the service which should not be the case. I'm going to try some more stuff and see if I can get the database up and running. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
