Why such an ancient version? Rapid improvements have been made in PostgreSQL's Windows support, and you'll have much better results with 8.4 or even 8.3 . > When i do install(install.pl), there is a destination directory > created.

Typically you'll want to create a service account for PostgreSQL, then add a service that runs the postmaster via pg_ctl.exe under the new service account. If you're not comfortable doing that, perhaps you should be using the binary installer for a recent version? -- Craig Ringer -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
