PostgreSQL version: 8.2 -> 8.3.5
Operating system: Vista Ultimate SP1
Description: Instalation error: Failed to run initdb: 255!
Details:
Hello,
Today I decided it would be a good idea to update postgresql 8.2 to 8.3.5
for performance reasons..
I backed up, dropped all db, uninstalled postgresql and removed all
remaining folders.
Now installation of 8.3.5 does not complete, initdb fails. giving the error
message Failed to run initdb: 255!
Help is very much appreciated!
Regards,
Brans
