Thread: beginner: what permissions required to install on windows 2000+
What are the permissions required to install postgres as a service on windows 2000/2003? I have followed the instructions, as I understand them, but the program will not install.
It either fails with "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022). Click on OK to terminate the application." or "Invalid username specified: A required privlege is not held by the client".

Anyone?
Or is there a better list for asking installation questions? I could really use some help on this one.

Installation on Windows 2000 is a lot more challenging. BTW: main stream support for 2000 by Microsoft ended on 2005-06-30, so unless you have contracts with MS for extended support... 2.) please be very carefull about the different permissions for "INSTALLING" and "RUNNING" PostgreSQL on windows To install PostgreSQL on windows you need permissions to: - install software - create a service - change permissions on files / directories To RUN PostgreSQL as a service on windows your serivce user needs "LOGON_AS_SERVICE" privilege. the usual install: -> logon as Administrator -> run the installer -> the installer creates the windows-user postgres, per default for the local machine, and adds the LOGON_AS_SERVICE privilege to the user So, to drill down to your problem: a) when did you get this error? During installation? That would point more to problems with wrong version of installer, broken MSI-files.... --- if on running the service: a) what user is the service configured to use to log on? b) what policies are in effect on that user? Please be aware that a lot of defaul policies do take away the "LOGON_AS_SERVICE" privilege c) whats within the log files?

Thanks for the response. Yes, I did. I tried a few things but did not find anything that seemed to apply. Though it's possible I may have missed something.

Yes, you are right. Unfortunately, I am stuck with an old 2000 box for the moment. Though hopefully I will move it to one with a newer o/s in the near future.

The error occurs during the installation of version postgresql-8.3.msi (8.3.0-1).
- I was logged in as a user with admin rights. Firewall s/w was disabled.
- In case that was not sufficient, I also tried the installation while logged in as the Adminstrator and after completely uninstalling firewall s/w. The same errors occur.
I have tried 2 approaches:
1) I accepted all of the default settings and allowed the installation program to create the windows-user postgres. An error occurs when the program reaches the status point "Starting services":
"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022). Click on OK to terminate the application."
I have included a snippet from the installation log and a message from the windows event log below.
2) I also tried creating the local user acccount before the installation.
- I deleted the previous windows account and created a new one
- I granted the account "Log on Locally" and "Log on as service rights".
- When I try and run the installation again, I receive the error message
"Invalid username specified: A required privilege is not held by the client"
