Hi List,        

Trying to install PostgresSQL 9.4.1 on Window XP Pro Service Pack 3.

Installation is aborted with the following error:

Unknown error while running C:\Documents and Settings\George Weaver\Local Settings\Temp\postgresql_installer_dc46cfee2c\getlocales.exe 

bitrock_installer.log output below.

Would this be an issue with trying to install on XP?

Thanks
George

Hi Glenn,

No, and neither did I receive any responses.

I did find the following reference that 9.4 is officially not supported on
XP, Server 2003 or Vista, however I have not seen anything "official" on the
PostgreSQL or Enterprise DB sites.

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CANFyU97_WyAXjge_kEGR62MQwOVy0ExjBqec9cL8stLKAkWuYg@mail.gmail.com

In fact, the Enterprise DB site states: The 9.x installers are supported on
.... and Windows XP and above.

All the best,
George

Purely out of curiosity ...

All support for Windows XP was dropped in April of last year ... and this
was many years after mainstream support was dropped (2009).

What possible reason could you have for still running Windows XP?
Furthermore, do you actually expect application vendors to still support
it with their applications?

In an effort to actually be helpful ...

Do you _need_ 9.4? Can you go back (possibly to 9.2) to a version that was
in use closer to when XP was still supported? I don't know if that will
help, but it seems like a reasonable thing to try.

I would not be using xp if I had a choice. Actually would not be using
Windows if I had my own way. Its all to do with Legacy systems.

I  have installed 9.3.6.1. which should be fine. This seem to be
working, or it has installed. I will test when I get the time.

I work with every variation of Windows (XP/Win 7/Win 8) and Win Servers.
Moved last customer off Server 2003 yesterday...

I simply tried to install 9.4 on XP - didn't work.  You move on.  It would
have been nice having some indication not to try...

9.3 seems to work quite nicely on XP.
