Thread: PostgreSQL 8.0 Beta and Windows XP

I'm having issues installing PostgreSQL 8.0 Beta Build 20040809 on
Windows XP Home with SP2.

I'm having two different problems. First problem is when it comes time
to initialize the database with initdb. This fails and I get "Failed
to create process for initdb: 1058!" as an error message.  My next
instinct was to just run initdb myself manually by telling the
installer not to run it. This ran fine until it came time to start the
service. I got an error that I had insufficient permissions to start
the service which should not be the case.

I'm going to try some more stuff and see if I can get the database up
and running.
