Thread: PgSql on Vista?
Hi all, have anybody installed PgSQL on Windows Vista? I tried yesterday but I fail... on XP and linux i've installed pgsql much times but on vista... nothing to do! Version in 8.2.3 with the installer. If I install with my user account (with administrative rights), the installlation fails on setting file permission, about at 3/4 of the process. If I install with Administrator account, the installer fail when starting the service.. any ideas?

It was clear to me after 20 minutes of actually trying to use the OS that UAC was a gimmick designed to supply plausible deniability for the fact that Windows XP suffered so many problems with malware. They can simply ask "were you using UAC?" every time someone complains that their box got infected with some rootkit of some sort instead of actually having to secure their OS intelligently. They know darn well that everyone who uses the OS will turn it off. The silly thing is the boy-who-cried-wolf and nothing more.
Frankly, I like Windows Server 2003's default of not allowing you to execute any program you got from elsewhere without explicitly unblocking it. It works just as well, IMX, although the error message you get when you forget about it is useless.

Doesn't the security center keep popping up to point out that it's
turned off?
