Hello,

I have a server in a datacenter and I am unable to install PostgreSQL 8 
Beta5 trough the Remote Desktop Connection. I already tried the /console 
option. Does any body have any tip? Can  I install it manually?

"This is unfortunatwly so. The PostgreSQL backend won't run from a TS 
session, and in order to do initdb the installer has to start a 
standalone backend. Therefore, installation has to be performed from the 
console. Note that if you are using Windows Server 2003, you can get 
remote access to the actual console and not just an administrative 
session. To do this, start the Remote Desktop Connection by executing 
/mstsc /console/, and then connect as usual. This will lock the local 
console of the server and give you control over that session. In this 
scenario, PostgreSQL should install just fine."
