Are you talking about "make install", "initdb", or somethingi else?

In any event, is it really something you want to give "Everyone"
the right to directly modify?

Here I found an installation issue:

- I was installing pg 8.1 on a Windows 2000 box.

- I chose a different folder than default (D:\PGSERVER did not exist
yet)

- When installing, the setup complained about not being able to write
into
the directory

- I check the directory permissions and saw that the "Everyone" group
does
not have "Modify" permissions

- After setting the "Modify" permission, the setup continued and
finished
okay.

Not just the windows setup MSI. Without permissions to everyone it won't
install

He's talking about the installer, I think (and so should really be
asking on the installer site at
http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller , or at any rate not on -hackers.

Gevik,

this list is the wrong place to discuss this - please ask on the
installer project site on the link I gave in an earlier reply.

cheers
