Bug reference:      5696
Logged by:          Tony Marston
Email address:      tony@marston-home.demon.co.uk
PostgreSQL version: 9.0
Operating system:   Widows XP
Description:        cannot upgrade to 9.0.1
Details:

I have just installed version 9.0, and I tried to follow it immediately with
an upgrade to 9.0.1, but it failed with the following message:

The existing data directory (catalog version: ) is not compatible with this
server (catalog version: 201008051)

That implies that the installer was unable to extract the catalog
version from your existing data directory. Can you please post the
logfile form %TEMP%? It should include the pg_controldata output.

I found the log file, and when it looked at it there was a reference to the
64 bit version of Windows, which I don't have. I downloaded the 32 bit
version (which I'm sure I did the first time, but I must have been wrong),
ran it, and it worked OK. Sorry for the confusion.

OK, thanks for letting us know.

Dharmendra - can you see if there's an easy way to prevent the 64bit
installer running on 32bit Windows please?

Hi Dave,

We do not allow 64 bit installer to run on 32 bit windows and this check is
already there.

Oh, hmm. Tony, are you running the 64bit version of XP? I assumed not,
as it's pretty rare, but....

Sounds like the existing check is broken then Dharmendra. Please take
a look when you get a moment.

Thanks.
