Unable to run PostgreSQL 8 beta 3 on Windows XP Home

Started by Ganesh and Sashikala Prasadover 21 years ago2 messagesbugs

Hi,

I downloaded PostgreSQL 8 beta 3 for my PC running Windows XP Home. Before
installing PostgreSQL, I first created a normal user called "postgres" with no
administrator privileges. Then, when setting up the software, I specified this
user to run under.

Unfortunately, I could never run postmaster even as "postgres" because it was
failing to find "postgres" under "Power Users". I have no Power Users on my
PC, only Administrator and Normal users.

Please ignore this bug report if the problem has already been fixed.

Regards,
Ganesh Prasad

Please download and try beta4. There used to be issues with XP Home, but
I beleive they have all been fixed.
