Thread: postgresql-8.0.0-beta5-en.msi -- does not install

Dear POSTGRESQL developers,

I would like to test the new PostgreSQL version, but was not
able to start

     postgresql-8.0.0-beta5-en.zip

i.e., the Windows Installer stopped without saying anything.
That happen under Windows 2000 _and_ under Windows XP. The
same happened with older Beta-Versions, I had to go back to

     postgresql-8.0-beta2-dev2.zip

to download a version that installed. But I do not want to
test older versions -- can you help me?

Regards,  Hans Werner Borchers.

Please check your eventlog and see if it says anything when you try the
install. If it doesn't, try enabling logging from Windows Installer by
running:
msiexec /l*v logfile.txt /i postgresql-8.0.0-beta5-en.msi

and then check the contents of logfile.txt.
