I am trying to install postgresql-8.0.1 on a machine running XP Professional.
On the web site I went to the download area, then to V8.0.1 and then
to win32. I downloaded postgresql.8.0.1.zip . I unzip that and executed
postgresql-8.0.msi . When I hit the "Start" button, I get the following:
This insallation package could not be opened. verify that the package ....
I cannot seem to find any way to get past this problem. Did I just miss
something simple? Any Help?
You need to copy the .msi files out of the .zip archive. It does not work to try to open the file from within the archive using the zip viewer feature of the Windows shell.
