For the archives: I worked off-list with Kevin and we noticed that the issue was that the *old* version was 8.0rc1, thus pg_ctl was looking for 8.0rc1. Upgrading to 8.0 first and then applying the new postgres.exe binary appears to have worked. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
