Re: BUG #6237: Hang during install database initialization

Yes, I did notice icacls.exe running when I used the task manager to see
what
processes were consuming cpu cycles or doing disk writes.

In fact, icacls.exe was the only thing using the cpu or the disk; the
postgres process was idle.

I also noticed this icacls.exe issue being discussed in the bug mailing
list after I had already submitted my bug report.

This sounds like it might be another icacls.exe case. Can I get you to
check the task manager for "icacls" while the install is hung?
