Thread: PG Windows - Installer Error
When upgrading pg 8.4.1 to 8.4.2 the following error message appeared: -Error- [quote]"Error copying file from package archive (...)/postgresql-8.4.2-1-windows.exe to (...)/bin/comerr32.dll[/quote] After selecting retry, the install process completes successfully. P.S. I tried posting this to the enterprisedb forums but I get the following error message when submitting the post: An error has occurred. For detailed error information, please see the HTML source code, and contact the forum Administrator. java.lang.ClassCastException -- Regards, Richard Broersma Jr. Visit the Los Angeles PostgreSQL Users Group (LAPUG) http://pugs.postgresql.org/lapug

I've passed this onto the infrastructure guys responsible so they check double-check for any problems. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

In my case, the only thing that may have been open was an ODBC connection from MS-Access. However, I'm pretty sure that all client applications were closed when I attempted the up-grade. Would this produce it? >> java.lang.ClassCastException > > Odd - they were working earlier today.

Thanks for directing it to them. -- Regards, Richard Broersma Jr. Visit the Los Angeles PostgreSQL Users Group (LAPUG) http://pugs.postgresql.org/lapug

In any case, something went awry, and the installer dealt with it appropriately, so I'm happy :-) -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
