Re: Unable to install pg in Win (MVR error) - Mailing list pgsql-general

Wow, I catch installer bug.

This problem related to executing .vbs files because of that whole installing process failed.

In the attachment will find that Bitrock installer unable to run .vbs script because in my PC I specified .vbs file association with notepad. For that I could install pg successfully on another PC.

I think this problem should not be exists in the installer because many script editors associate .vbs files by default, is it right? If yes where I can report a bug for this issue?

When you run the installer without specifying "--install_runtimes 0", What is the error code returned by the MS VC++ Runtime installer. You can check that in the log file (%TEMP%\bitrock_installer_<somenumber>.log).

Hi All,

As shown in the following screenshot I couldn't install pg in Windows because it couldn't install Microsoft VC++ Runtime!

How I can fix this issue?

If you already have the right version (VC++ 2005 SP1) of the runtimes installed, you could run the installer with the option:

--install_runtimes 0

to skip the runtime installation.

I tried to run pg installer with "--install_runtimes 0" but I got warning message tell me that database cluster failed does this problem related to wrong MVR?

if yes how I can fix this issue? do I need to remove installed MVR (I didn't find it in Add or Remove Programs list)?



PS.
After finishing the installer I noticed that pg services didn't start at all although I successfully installed pg on another PC!
