Hi All,
Gilbirt ur answr lies in ur question as u rightly quoted
" I'm guessing there may be a problem with logins/access rights here?"
Do sothing like this to confirm
Go to ur system directory i.e
win\system and win\system32
From folder options do view all
and Select all the dll files NOW here is the catch if u can see all the
dlls then u would be able to
install your Postgresql as local user login only .
Try the same in while u are logged on ur domain.
Now which ever login permits u to see the dlls will alow you to install
postgresl
Install Postgresql and u must succed
If not revert back I am sure their are many friends of our to help!!!!!
Regards,
Aspire
