Can you confirm that you don't provide support for Windows Vista for any

support Vista. If so, are you planning any releases. I have a major
project and was hoping to use Postgres.
PostgreSQL will run on Vista, however to run the installer you will have
to temporarily disable User Account Control.
This is because the current stable version of PostgreSQL was released
some time before Vista so obviously couldn't be properly tested with it.
The installer for PostgreSQL 8.3 has already been rewritten as required
to support Vista.
I've not tried Postgres on Vista yet - I run it on Linux, however I have found
most Windows XP software that won't run by default on vista will do provided you
mark the executable to run in XP compatible mode - you don't have to turn off
'User Account Control'.
Worth trying : right mouse click on the Postgres installer, select the
'compatibility' tab and then Windows XP (Service Pack 2) from the drop down.
