Nathalie, you should open a command-shell (Run, Execute, cmd)
and start the .bat launcher file from there. Propably you will learn that the installer did not create a template database when you chose to not install PostgreSQL as a service. Blease consult the excellent documentation for "createdb". Best wishes, Harald On 7/24/07, Nathalie Azzola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
