Re: Not able to install Windows Version Yet - Mailing list pgsql-cygwin

Hello, all,
hello, Mac,

I could add another hint that might be useful:
First, I had the same problems as you (producing the error message
mentioned by you***).
After that, I read somewhere not to install the "Curr" installation
(see the radio buttons in the top of the setup windows), but to take
the "Exp" installation - and all worked fine!

Regarding your problems with the C:\ hardcoded, I didn't (yet)
experience this.

Kind regards
Struppi
