[GENERAL] Problem with windows Postgres 8.3.1 MSI binary distribution
Hello,
I have a problem with the windows Postgres 8.3.1 MSI binary distribution. When I attempt to install postgres 8.3.1 with postgres automatically creating its own user account, the installer complains:
"Service 'PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3'(pgsql-8.3) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priveleges to start system services."
This, despite the fact that 4 postgres.exe processes are now visible in task manager, running as the just created postgres user. I believe that the installer creates accounts with the ability to log on as a service, and to log on locally, so this shouldn't be a problem. Besides, I've manually ensured that the account has these privelege in "Local Security Settings", and the account I run PGinstaller is an administrative account.
This is a new user account, not one from a previous postgres install. I deleted all the older ones in the well hidden "Local Users and Groups" dialog.
What should I do to prevent this messagebox from appearing, which forces me to roll back the installation?
Regards, Peter
