Re: Install issue on Windows and directory
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

- I was installing pg 8.1 on a Windows 2000 box.
- I chose a different folder than default (D:\PGSERVER did not exist

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.
