That's because they don't exist. You need to create them. I did it on
WinXP and it works fine.

Hi.
I can't find pgpass.conf file. It should be in Application Data
subdirectory, but there is no PostgreSQL subdirectory in Application
Data
directory (!?). I couldn't find pgpass.conf even by searching the hard
disk..
Regards,
Zlatko

Use a pgpass.conf file:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/libpq-pgpass.html (remember
the file has to be in the profile of the account that executes the step.
And be sure to protect it with file system ACLs so other users can't
read it)
