Thread: Unable to install pg in Win (MVR error)

Hi All,

As shown in the following screenshot I couldn't install pg in Windows because it couldn't install Microsoft VC++ Runtime!

How I can fix this issue?

PS

I didn't find any problem during using pg in kubuntu it worked smoothly within 10 seconds.

If you already have the right version (VC++ 2005 SP1) of the runtimes installed, you could run the installer with the option:

--install_runtimes 0

to skip the runtime installation.

I tried to run pg installer with "--install_runtimes 0" but I got warning message tell me that database cluster failed does this problem related to wrong MVR?

if yes how I can fix this issue? do I need to remove installed MVR (I didn't find it in Add or Remove Programs list)?



PS.
After finishing the installer I noticed that pg services didn't start at all although I successfully installed pg on another PC!

When you run the installer without specifying "--install_runtimes 0", What is the error code returned by the MS VC++ Runtime installer. You can check that in the log file (%TEMP%\bitrock_installer_<somenumber>.log).

Install the correct runtimes version (you don't need to uninstall any existing ones). This should do: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647

OK, I'll try it now.

BTW, what language does your copy of Windows run in?

English/Arabic Enabled.

Do you think this problem related to local language config?

Wow, I catch installer bug.

This problem related to executing .vbs files because of that whole installing process failed.

In the attachment will find that Bitrock installer unable to run .vbs script because in my PC I specified .vbs file association with notepad. For that I could install pg successfully on another PC.

I think this problem should not be exists in the installer because many script editors associate .vbs files by default, is it right? If yes where I can report a bug for this issue?

I'm not sure it's the file association that is causing the problem, because we explicitly pass the filename to the script interpreter rather than relying on ShellExecute. If that were the issue, you would see the script pop up in notepad.

However, the log does perhaps give us a clue. Ashesh - would you mind investigating further please?

As soon as I restored file association of .vbs to the default the problem disappeared so from my side I think this is clear clue.

What you think Ashesh?
