I don't think you can install from a terminal services connection. Try installing directly from the console. If you aren't able to sit in front of the machine, there is a way in win2003+ to allow you to connect directly to the console using remote desktop. I don't remember what it is. Google should help you there though. Regards Russell

Also try a newer Postgres release, per the identical bug report posted less than a week ago: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2008-08/msg00241.php I believe this is something that's fixed as of 8.2. regards, tom lane

Yes, IIRC that whole codepath has been rewritten. And 8.0 isn't supported anymore (on windows), so you really sholdn't be installing that on a new system :P //Magnus
