Thread: BUG #5632: won't unistall properly
The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5632 Logged by: Robert Koch Email address: Expendable@AEMail4u.com PostgreSQL version: 8.4.4-1 Operating system: Windows 2000 Pro Description: won't unistall properly Details: When installing, PostgreSQL fails to create an entry in Windows' Add/Remove Programs feature. One can remove the files and directories by hand, but the System Registry features about a couple dozen entries for PostgreSQL, some of which regedit.exe cannot remove. A cleaner uninstall feature is necessary. Similarly, the bundled versions of Apache and phpBB leave fingerprints in the registry when being removed by hand, as necessitated by their absence from the approved Add/Remove Programs method.

I know the Add/Remove Programs link gets created on XP; in fact this is the first reported failure we have heard about this. Where did you get the Postgres download from? -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. +
