Thread: PostgreSQL/cygwin installation
Hallo, I have may be for someone stupid question. It's possible to install PostgreSQL with cygwin on CD or Iomega-Drive, so that someone can copy and start this installation without making anyone installation or configuration? Best Regards, Rafal

But I don't see the advantage over just downloading PostgreSQL from the Cygwin site. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net
cygwin requires some entries in the registry. So if you are doing the installation thru copying, you will need to export some of the reqistry entries and import them on the machine where you have copied. If you search for cygwin in the regedit application you will know what keys need to be exported. I have not tried it so no guarantees. But I have gotten Cygwin&Postgress to work on windows by just copying some files and programatically setting the registry entries. > -----Original Message----- > From: Rafal Kedziorski [mailto:rafcio@polonium.de] > Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 7:31 AM > To: pgsql-cygwin@postgresql.org > Subject: [CYGWIN] PostgreSQL/cygwin installation > > > Hallo, > > I have may be for someone stupid question.
