Re: PostgreSQL Win32 GUI installer beta

These are the locales supported by Windows, there is nothing wrong with
that.

As for the installation directory - that definitly sounds wrong. It does
work for me. Though you have to change the directory once for each
top-level feature, or they will go into different directories. We
probably want to fix that. I see Dave has added it to

Hi

If you specify an installation directory, the installer ignores
it and installs in default C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\7.5. This is
wrong. Any way round?. Locale is defaulting to C but the drop down list
gives languages!

Great job. I've tried it and here are the little details I
noticed:

- I think the service doesn't check the postmaster.pid before
starting, so it fails after a abnormal Windows termination. The pid's
ghost remains in the data directory after a crash...

- The button "Next" doesn't become available after the filling
of the last box in some Windows. It "turns on" if we click anywhere,
after that.

- The service is created Ok, but is set to start manually. By
the way, I think that warning about the creation of the limited user
with "logon as a service right" deserves a hole window, all for
himself...

- The psql.exe asks the user's password, but says it is wrong
even before it is issued.

Just a question: is there any possibility to give user the
option to install the Postgis extension? It would be nice, and that
moment when the packages to be installed are chosen (odbc, jdbc, etc) is
specially apropriate...

Congratulations for the outstanding work.

Jomar
