Re: Problems with Vista and Windows 7

I should add that I have no problems running Postgres in Windows 7.
The Windows installer works Ok for me.
In this thread I am not clear about whether it is postgres data (data
written and read by PostgreSQL) or user data that is being discussed.

Regards
Andrew

Shortly, I tried to use functions from my own dll, but got an error "Could not open relation base\16123\16222: No such file or directory". Later I found out, using 'Process Monitor', that for some reason process 'postgres.exe' looked for this relation not in 'C:\PostgreSQL\8.4\data\base\16123\16222' but in 'C:\Users\postgres\AppData\Roaming\MyApplicationName\base\16123\16222' - certainly, there is no such file.
