Hi,


I didn't use GUI for the initial installation. I can only use unattended mode for my use case.

If you call the installer for initial installation and update with the exact same flags the problem occurs.

Initial installation in unattended mode seems to work. The postgres user definitly exists and is used for the pg service.

But running the installer again in unattended mode (e.g. update) raises an error in validateuser.exe.

If you update in GUI mode using the same password the validation works.

Hi

Did you provide the same configure flags for GUI installation? May be your service account was the default i.e "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService" . You may check the installation logs in the system temp as well to confirm that.

Hi,


I have problems with the validateuser.exe during installation in unattended mode.

I'm trying to update an 9.2.8.1 to 9.2.9.3 windows 7 x64 installation.

In GUI mode the validation works. But in unattended mode it always fails with:

"Incorrect password for user..."


I also reproduced the error with 9.2.9.3 windows 7 x86 installer running the following command twice:


postgresql-windows-x86.exe --mode unattended --superaccount postgres --serviceaccount postgres --servicepassword "postgres" --prefix "C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\ProgramData\PostgreSQL\9.2\Data" --superpassword "postgres" --serverport 5432
