No. WinME is not a supported environment. You can run the client tools, not the server. The installer is also not supported, so you will have to either build from source or download the binaries without installer and manually grab the external dependencies. //Magnus

For client-side it's mostly copy/paste, but you will also need to download some dependency DLLs (such as OpenSSL and MIT Kerberos) elsewhere, unless you already have them on your system. //Magnus

If you have pgAdmin III installed - and I'd strongly recommend it, it's a great tool - and add the program dir to your PATH, you should have most of the needed DLLs available. --Ray. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Raymond O'Donnell Director of Music, Galway Cathedral, Galway, Ireland rod@iol.ie ----------------------------------------------------------------------
