Thread: Installing Postgresql on Windows XP embedded
Anyone have some idea how to do this? I am able to install my Win32 application but the postgeSQL install will not work. Any help or at least a starting point would be appreciated.

Windows XP Embedded is not a tested or supported platform for PostgreSQL. I have no idea if it will work or not. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com PG East Conference: http://www.enterprisedb.com/community/nav-pg-east-2010.do
