Installation of PostgreSQL on Windows XP

1 New Member
I am trying to install PostgreSQL 8.2 on Windows XP. I get the message " The Port already in use" during installation and installation stops. When I stop the process related to Quick Heal (Anti-Virus Software) through Task Manager, the installation messaghe changed to "The data base directory is not empty". Even I uninstalled Quick Heal & Quick Heal Fire Wall, the message is same.

Please let me know, if I can change port number from 5432 to something else for PostgreSQL data base. As port 5432 has been alloted internationally to PostgreSQL, how some other programme can use it. Please help

Sounds like you created a postgre account, use admin tools -> computer management and see if you have postgre account. Delete that account and try again. I would also go to the postgre directory and delete the whole directory. Good luck.

Hi all, Following up on another thread, here is a comparison between FB and PG from an FB'ers POV. BTW, FB is the love-child of Open-Source-Interbase. BTW, I have tried to be as accurate as I can with the information available to me at this point in time - I was unable to find anything resembling a feature list on the FB site, so most of this is from memory. I do have an email account on the various lists on that site, and I will post...

I am trying to create an installer that will run PostgreSQL as a service onto a Windows machine( 2000 or Server 2003). The problem that I am having is that I need to have the database be initialized by a restricted windows user. However, I do not want to demand that the user log out and then log back in again as this restricted user. Also, I am unable to utilize the 'runas' functionality from an installer due to the inability to pipe it a...
