Re: Service not starting: Error 1053

Hey Robert,

thanks for replying,
the package you are referring to I already used (pgInstaller →
Top<http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/>→
binary <http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/> →
v8.3.6<http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.3.6/>→ win32 →
postgresql-8.3.6-2.zip<http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp/binary/v8.3.6/win32/postgresql-8.3.6-2.zip>
)
or do you mean the One click installer?

the Windows version I use is Windows XP with SP3 as mentioned in the
original thread.

With kind regards, Frank.
