backup/restore in Windows Vista

From
"Andrus"
Date:
In Windows Vista, backup and restore in pgAdmin is not working.

Task Manager shows pg_dump or pg_restore processes but they have never 
finished.
I turned UAC off, selected Run as administrator and run in XP SP2 
compatibility mode but problem persist.

Running same commands from bat file works OK.


Using 1.6.2

I cannot reproduce this in 1.7-dev on Vista Ultimate. I also check to
see what happens if attempting to write a back in C:\ for example - it
fails with an appropriate error message.

Do you have any AV that might be blocking things?

Dave,

thank you.
I do'nt have any antivirus software installed.

I looked into download page and haven't found 1.7-dev binaries for Windows.

Should I try 1.6.3 ?

I've tried this again on a virtually brand new install of Vista Business
and still cannot reproduce any problem.

Are you on a domain with any policies in place that could be affecting
things? Can anyone else reproduce this?

There is no domain.

I bought new computer with Vista Business pre-installed, installed 
PostgreSQL 8.2.3
and pgAdmin from your link.
