problem installing postgresql-8.0.1 on Windows 2K

You need to look a bit earlier in the logfile to determine where the
error is - the log you have here is only from the MSI rollback.

How far into the installation do you get befoer it fails?

It gives a non-descriptive error message "Installation ended
prematurely because
of an error". It is repeatable.

The end of the log file is the following:

Any ideas?

Magnus,

You need to look a bit earlier in the logfile to determine where the
error is - the log you have here is only from the MSI rollback.

How far into the installation do you get befoer it fails?

I get to the point where it would start copying the files (it shows the
progressbar for a very very brief moment and then the error pops up).

Anyway, I'm pasting the earlier lines where I think the fatal problem first
appears (previously it complains about error 2769 on locales and 2888 and 2826
on TextStyle - but those I think are non-fatal).

Yes, those are not related at all to the actual error.

Can you zip up the full log and send it to me off-list? It's still
missing the important part :-) Either that, or windows installer isn't
telling us the important part...
