Re: postgresql 8 beta 4 will not install

Yeah. My guess is that either those tcl84.dll:s weren't included in the
system PATH, or the tcl84.dll in this one installation is broken and not
in the others.

	I did have tcl84.dll in my cygwin install. Renaming it allowed
the install to proceed.
	 
	Thanks... 
	 
	But that begs the question - my other 2 machine ALSO have cygwin
installed with tcl but the initial install went OK.

		Actually, it helps a bit. It shows we have an actual
*crash* in CheckAvailableDLLs. This codei s basically:
		LoadLibraryEx on perl58.dll, tcl84.dll and python23.dll.
It is supposed to handle failures on that, and certainly shouldn't
crash.
		Then it does a GetVersionEx() to cehck if the machine is
a domain controller. The crash could come from here for some reason, but
I think I've exercised all codepaths there befoer.
		 
		Can yuo check if you have any of the above listed DLLs
on your system? If you do, try renaming them to ".dll.old" or something
and run again, just to see if we get past this point then - that would
pinpoint that DLL as the problem.

				I assume this happens before you are
presented with even the first dialog box?
				Please try running the installer with
logging enabled:
				msiexec /l* c:\pginstlog.txt /i
c:\where\ever\postgresql-8.0.0-beta4.msi
				 
				That should produce a logfile that will
hopefully point you in the direction of what's wrong

postgresql 8 beta 4 will not install
				
				
				I've been able to install version 8.0.0
beta 4 on two machines but the third one fails. The Windows Installer
starts but after a few seconds the installer widow disappears.
				 
				I'm using Win2K with all current service
packs.
				 
				Any ideas on what is wrong or how I can
make this work?
				 
				TIA.
