Re: Windows 2003 server installation issue

Joshua,

Thanks for reply. But I tried 8.4.4 and it still doesn't work with local administrator account on windows 2003 . I don't want to create additional "postgres" user to start service on windows rather I want to use my currently logged in user. User can be administrator or non-administrator.

I am getting an "error code 5" in event viewer when I try to use administrator as service user.Before attempting that I used initdb to create
Data directory with same user

Thanks & Regards,
Vikram

There is a reason the community provides binary packages. The idea that
you are patching 8.4.1 is quite ridiculous. Upgrade to 8.4.4.
