Error installing pgadmin II on Windows 98

Hi guys.

Trying to get pgadmin installed on Windows 98, but getting an error.  This
is a fresh 98 install, but I did upgrade the DAC to the latest after
receiving this error to see if it did any good.  It didn't.

The error is:
Error installing ODBC driver: PostgreSQL, ODBC error 0: Verify that the
file PostgreSQL exists and that you can access it.

If I click ignore, this error displays twice for each odbc driver
installed.  Then the install completes.  Afterwards, if I start pgadmin
from the start menu, I get:

Runtime Error '430':
Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface.

I even tried downloading the dlls themselves, copying over to
windows\system, and then loading the registry keys.

See my url below for screenshots and the msi log file (generated with
"msiexec /i C:\windows\desktop\PGADMIN2.msi /l* c:\pgadmin.log"):

Any help would be *greatly* appreciated.

Thanks!

John

Hi John,

When you installed MDAC, did you get the SDK? If so, that doesn't
include the core components.

If that's not the problem, can you try installing the psqlODBC driver on
it's own please? You can get it from
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc

Regards, Dave.

Dave,

Thanks!  I did install the SDK...after going back and installing the core,
everything works fine.

For the record, this only occured under Windows 98 first edition, the SE
install went fine.

I appreciate your time on this.  pgadmin is a great tool!

Thanks,
John

Glad to hear it :-)

Yeah, I think SE included MDAC.
