On a somewhat related note, I have had spectacular lack of success in
getting either MSVC or MinGW builds to work on Vista - so much so
that I have currently abandoned my attempts on that platform and I
resorted to resuscitating an old XP box for testing. Following some
advice from Magnus, I added ACLs to the build root for both an admin
and a non-admin user (cacls buildroot /E /T /G AdminUser:C and
similarly for a non-admin user) . I can build as the admin user but
when I come to run initdb it fails, complaining that it can't find
the postgres executable.
Yeah, I ran into that problem as well. I'll look at my Vista box when
I'm in the office tomorrow and see if I can figure out what hack fixed
it for me.
I have never heard back on this, AFAIK. If anyone has instructions on
how to manage this please let me know. My current status with MSVC/vista
is still that I can build but not run as an admin user, and run but not
build as a non-admin user. Bleah.
cheers
