Hi Sandeep,

The *test* installation works like a charm.

 

Good to know. Thanks for testing.

 

The pop up tells me, that it is using the correct windows AD user (domain + user name).

 

Just for your information:

• The startup phase took a while, since the installation wasn’t able to find the existing data directory anymore.
• Once i provide the data directory, everything works as expected (the windows service was stopped, deleted and reinstalled etc.)

In a fresh installation, the installer will create the data directory at the given location. But, in upgrade mode (when the files on disk and the registry entries already exist), the installer doesn't try to create the data directory and it just dumps the binaries, updates the registry entries and restarts the service.

Since i had the same problem with the postgreSQL 9.6 installation in the past, this is really just for your information and not an issue (at least not to me).

 

 

Sorry fort he delayed response (was away Monday and Tuesday).

 

Best regards,

Wilm.
