That implies that the installer was unable to extract the catalog
version from your existing data directory. Can you please post the
logfile form %TEMP%? It should include the pg_controldata output.

OK, thanks for letting us know.

Dharmendra - can you see if there's an easy way to prevent the 64bit
installer running on 32bit Windows please?

Hi Dave,

We do not allow 64 bit installer to run on 32 bit windows and this check is
already there.

Dharmendra

Oh, hmm. Tony, are you running the 64bit version of XP? I assumed not,

Sounds like the existing check is broken then Dharmendra. Please take
a look when you get a moment.
