Hello everyone.
Sorry,I'm not good at English.

But Postgres8.2(Win) installer error ocurred.

Installing, when creating initdb process says error as follows,
"WS2 32.dll can't find. Fatal error"

See Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.2/tmp

But,that file is empty.

Well, if it can't find ws2_32.dll you have a big problem. That's the
winsock library, it's a core part of windows, and postgresql can't work
without it. You need to find out why the file either does no exist, or
won't load. It could be a permissions problem, or a corruption of your
system of some kind.
