Thread: Installation of pgAdmin
I received a response that the address pgadmin-support@greatbridge.com was unreachable when I tried to send this. As I say below, I was sorry to hear that greatbridge.com had ceased operations. Can anyone on this list help me with my question about installation of pgAdmin? Please cc: me on responses. I am not currently subscribed to this list. First - I was sorry to hear that greatbridge.com has ceased operations. I hope that all those who worked for GreatBridge are able to move on to new challenges. My question must qualify as the dumbest question I have ever sent to an e-mail list but - I can't decide how I install and start pgAdmin. I run PostgreSQL 7.1.1 on a Debian GNU/Linux system. On the Windows ME machine from which I want to connect I have the ODBC driver installed. I'm not quite sure what it meant on the home page for pgAdmin to say that I require Microsoft Windows Installer. I downloaded pgadmin-7_1_0.zip. When I expand that with WinZIP I don't see anything that looks like an installer or an application. I must be missing something obvious. Can someone tell me how to get started? -- Douglas Bates bates@stat.wisc.edu Statistics Department 608/262-2598 University of Wisconsin - Madison http://www.stat.wisc.edu/~bates/

Check out our new website at http://pgadmin.postgresql.org for more details about them. As for your problem, I *think* that Windows ME already has the installer, umm, installed. In the zip file you downloaded, there should be a single .msi file. If you can double click that and it starts to install then you're OK. If not, then you can either hunt through the MS website for the Windows Installer redistributable, or, if you download the 'full' version of the ODBC driver from ftp.postgresql.org or a mirror, then that will pre-install the installer for you before installing the ODBC driver itself.
