problems with postgresql.msi (installing 8.0.2)

Hi all,

I'm having major problems trying to get 8.0.2 installed on Windows XP,
SP2... I have never had a PostgreSQL install on this machine. I have
uninstalled completely my McAfee virus scan, and turned off ZoneAlarm &
MS Firewalls, shut down all anti-spyware programs, etc. I'm using
version 3 (+) of MS Installer.

Whenever I start up the postgresql-8.0.msi (via MS Windows installer) I
get the following msg box:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL MUI Wrapper 8.0

! The system cannot open the device or file specified.

<Retry> <Cancel>
-----------------------------------------------------------------

After clicking <Cancel> (retry just repeats the message, ad infinitum),
I get the following:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL MUI Wrapper 8.0

! The installer has encountered an unexpected error
installing this package. This may indicate a problem with
this package. The error code is 2755.

  < OK >
-----------------------------------------------------------------

(Also, if I continue on with the install, as it lets me do, I get the
following:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 8.0

! The system cannot open the device or file specified.

 <Retry> <Cancel>
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Then I get the same message as above--error 2755--and finally, I get a
Fatal Error
msg box saying the install has failed.)

Any ideas? A portion of my log file is below, with most of the gory
details...

Thanks!

Is this the wrong forum to post this message to?  If so, where should I
post it?

Does anyone with installation expertise on Windows know why I might be
seeing these error messages while trying to install (specifically error
2755 from MS Installer)?  See below, for more detail.  (Is this the/a
symptom of the McAfee issues you mention in the FAQs for Win32 install?)

I'm going to also try sending directly to Dave (& Magnus again), along
with this re-post.  If either of you two can refer me to the right
person or at least give me some troubleshooting tips?

Thanks again,
Brad

Subject: [NOVICE] problems with postgresql.msi (installing 8.0.2)

Hi all,

I'm having major problems trying to get 8.0.2 installed on Windows XP,
SP2... I have never had a PostgreSQL install on this machine. I have
uninstalled completely my McAfee virus scan, and turned off ZoneAlarm &
MS Firewalls, shut down all anti-spyware programs, etc. I'm using
version 3 (+) of MS Installer.

Whenever I start up the postgresql-8.0.msi (via MS Windows installer) I
get the following msg box:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL MUI Wrapper 8.0

! The system cannot open the device or file specified.

<Retry> <Cancel>
-----------------------------------------------------------------

After clicking <Cancel> (retry just repeats the message, ad infinitum),
I get the following:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL MUI Wrapper 8.0

! The installer has encountered an unexpected error
installing this package. This may indicate a problem with
this package. The error code is 2755.

 < OK >
-----------------------------------------------------------------

(Also, if I continue on with the install, as it lets me do, I get the
following:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 8.0

! The system cannot open the device or file specified.

<Retry> <Cancel>
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Then I get the same message as above--error 2755--and finally, I get a
Fatal Error
msg box saying the install has failed.)

Any ideas? A portion of my log file is below, with most of the gory
details...

Thanks!

Hi Magnus,

I tried that, but have the same problem.  I see a couple of places in
the log file where the problem might be occurring:

Here:
MSI (c) (00:E4) [11:03:54:764]: Package to be registered:
'postgresql-8.0-int.msi'
MSI (c) (00:E4) [11:03:54:764]: Note: 1: 2205 2:  3: Error
MSI (c) (00:E4) [11:03:54:764]: Note: 1: 2729

Or, farther along, here:
Action start 11:03:55: Welcome_Dialog.
MSI (c) (00:5C) [11:03:55:555]: Note: 1: 2205 2:  3: Error

`Message` FROM `Error` WHERE `Error` = 2826
DEBUG: Error 2826:  Control wc_bmp on dialog Welcome_Dialog extends
beyond the boundaries of the dialog on the top by 20 pixels
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this
package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code
is 2826. The arguments are: Welcome_Dialog, wc_bmp, on the top
MSI (c) (00:5C) [11:03:55:555]: Note: 1: 2205 2:  3: Error

However, assuming that this will take a while for you to diagnose
and/or fix, can you just send me some step-by-step instructions and a
zip file with the Win32 executables, etc. (for 8.0.2) in it, so I can
manually install the right pieces, add the non-admin user account,
etc.?  If you tell me what to do, I should be able to manually install
it as a service running on XP, no?

That would be very helpful and allow me to get to work with Postgres,
rather than be stuck waiting for the install issue to get resolved.

Thanks,
Brad

Re: problems with postgresql.msi (installing 8.0.2)

Well, go figure.  When I went to download the Win32 version of 8.0.2
without installer (and remember, I'd downloaded the installer version
of 8.0.2 twice already, including uninstalling McAfee before the 2nd
time, etc.), I saw that 8.0.3 was out, so I thought, "what the heck?"
and grabbed that one with the MS Installer (postgresql.msi).

Installed just fine.  Went back to 8.0.2, same problem; back to 8.0.3
and it installs fine.

So, if anyone finds this thread in the archives and is having problems
like I was I'd say it was a loose bit in the installer and just try a
newer (or older) version, perhaps, for a different memory footprint
that may fix the problem?

Anyway, thanks for your suggestions, Magnus... and I'm now a happy
camper with 8.0.3 installed on my Windows XP, SP2 platform.

Cheers,
Brad

No, this is quite normal, and it's not really an error. It's a matter of
the bitmap image not being perfectly aligned on all screen resolutions.

There is the -no-installer ZIP file available on the ftp site. You can
use that one - just unzip it in for example c:\program file\postgresql -
and then follow the unix guidelines for how to run initdb, and you
should be all set. To run it as a service, use pg_ctl register (see the
pg_ctl documentation). But if you do it manually, try starting it
interactive instead of service first (follow the unix guidelines and
replace with windows paths as necessary). When doing this (and initdb)
remember to be logged in as the non-admin user.

No, this is quite normal, and it's not really an error. It's a matter of
the bitmap image not being perfectly aligned on all screen resolutions.

Error 2755 is a "catch all" message from MSI.

It could be. I haven't seen this specific one, but weird error msgs are
very often because of antivirus programs.

Never seen this one. It is not a message from inside the postgresql
installer, it's from your actual Windows Installer service, as part of
the OS. Something appears to be badly broken in it.

Try copying your MSI files to c:\temp and install from there. Sometimes
MSI can lose track of what drives are available, but c:\temp should fit
in any and all buffers.

Interesting.

Any chance you had a bad download of the MSI? Because *nothing* has
changed in the code of the installer between 8.0.2 and 8.0.3...

As far as I can tell, no bad download (and as I said, I'd downloaded
twice, before trying 8.0.3).

In the interest of science, after getting your email (Magnus), I
re-downloaded 8.0.2, put it into c:\temp and tried again, same result.

So, let me know if you need anything else, but I'm fine with 8.0.3
working...

Any change in the version of Wix between 8.0.2 and 8.0.3? This caused
problems for me once with no changes in the installer source.

Just a thought.
