                       POSTGRESQL BUG REPORT TEMPLATE
========================================================================
====
Your name       : Egon Phillips
Your email address : egon(dot)phill(dot)(dot)(dot)(at)sympatico(dot)ca
System Configuration
---------------------
 Architecture (example: Intel Pentium)     : AMD 2500XP
Operating System (example: Linux 2.4.18) : Win2000 5.00.2195, sp4
 PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-8.0):
postgresql-8.0.0-rc2.msi
Compiler used (example: gcc 2.95.2) : none
Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
postgresql-8.0.0-rc2.msi will not install on drive e:.  The following
directory trees are created:
	"E:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-rc2\data"
	"E:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-rc2\tmp"
I've attempted implementing the work-around as described in the
following:
"Running & Installing PostgreSQL On Native Windows FAQ, 3.5) I'm getting
permissions errors when installing/running initdb.
But, the error persists as described  in 3.5.  I solve the problem by
installing the postgresql-8.0.0-rc2.msi in:
	"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-rc2"
I believe the correct result should be to install
postgresql-8.0.0-rc2.msi in:
	"E:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-rc2"
Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
Create a "Program Files" subdirectory tree on a drive other than "C:\",
I would suggest trying "E:\".  Apply the workaround described  in
"Running & Installing PostgreSQL On Native Windows FAQ, 3.5).  Attempt
to install postgresql-8.0.0-rc2.msi in "E:\Program Files".
Drive "E:\" is an NTFS Dynamic Partition.
