Re: initdb hangs even though ipc-daemon is running?

Hi  All,

Gilbirt ur answr lies in ur question as u rightly quoted
" I'm guessing there may be a problem with logins/access rights here?"
Do sothing like this to confirm
Go to ur system directory i.e
win\system and win\system32

>From folder options do view all
and Select all the dll  files NOW here is the catch if u can see all the
dlls then u would be able to
install your Postgresql as local user login only .
Try the same in while u are logged on ur domain.

Now which ever login permits u to see the dlls will alow you to install
postgresl

Install Postgresql and u must succed

If not revert back I am sure their are many friends of our to help!!!!!

Regards,
Aspire
