Re: [postgis-users] PostGIS Installation error using Stackbuilder
Regina, I wanted to put put there the solution that I found to my problem: I changed my the password for the postgres user in pgadmin III to one that did not have any special characters in it, specifically, no % sign. After this, I ran the PostGIS installer again, and it completed with no problems at all. You may want to add this to your todo list as well. Thanks for at least pointing me in the right direction regarding special characters.

Re: [postgis-users] PostGIS Installation error using Stackbuilder
Regina, Thanks for the response. Having just installed PostgreSQL at the same time, I know that there are not multiple installations, so I don't think that is the culprit. I think it may be a password issue. I don't have either of the characters you mentioned, however, have you done any testing with a password containing the percent (%) symbol? I am not in the office today to test it, but on Monday I will try the workaround. Thanks again!

Good morning Russell: I've had several password authentication problems on Windows (XP though, not Server 08) specifically when connecting via command line.
