The Stack Builder within the PostgreSQL installer locked up with a

PostGIS. This was recreated on 3 machines using Windows Server 2003 and
Windows XP. Running the PostGIS installer separately it went further
and then locked up on the "Creating template database..." dialog (see
below). All lockups lasted more than an hour without any idication of
progress. The installer completed without locking up on a Macintosh.
This was very recent with the latest builds - any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi Jim,
The two points at which you mention the installer freezes are when it
launches a psql (command line client) process in order to connect to
your existing PostgreSQL cluster.
If you look in your %TEMP% directory, you should find a a further
directory called postgis_installer which contains the batch files used.
I would try and copy the content of these files and run them manually to
see what is happening from a command prompt, e.g. :
set PGPASSWORD=mypassword
set PGPORT=5432
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin\psql.exe -d template_postgis -U
postgres -h localhost -c "SELECT version();"
If there is an issue here, it should be fairly easy to spot. Have you
altered the configuration of pg_hba.conf/postgresql.conf from the
installed default? And could you have a firewall/virus checker installed
blocking connections to localhost?
ATB,
Mark.
