Willy, when you say compressed postgis file -- you mean the one on this page? http://www.postgis.org/download/windows/#windbinaries I unfortunately don't have a windows xp machine readily handy to test with. I haven't tried upgrading my test to 9.1.7 to rule that out as an issue so I'll give that a try. This issue is usually caused by libxml2-2.dll incompatibilities. Though I gather you are using the one packaged with PostGIS since it looks like the postgres one isu using libxml2.dll Have you been running PostGIS 2 or 1.5 on your windows xp successfully in past Thanks, Regina http://www.postgis.us

I installed postgres on an XP PC, which worked fine. (PostgreSQL 9.1.7, compiled by Visual C++ build 1500, 32-bit) Then I used the StackBuilder to install PostGIS 2. Upon creating the extension, i get the error "ERROR: could not load library "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/postgis-2.0.dll": unknown error 998" The same happens when executing the sql "create extension postgis;" I tried pasting the contents from the bin folder from the compressed postgis installation file into ../9.1/bin/, but to no avail. I used Depends.exe to diagnose, like Paragon suggested. I included the dwi-file as an attachment. Is there anything i can do?

So I ended up borrowing my brother's Windows 7 pc, using the exact same download (postgreSQL + postgis using stackbuilder) which took me about 5 minutes to succesfully install the whole thing. I have no clue why it doesn't work on my XP. More exactly, why it can't find the correctly located postgis-2.0.dll-file. But at least I'll be able to test and recap the 'PostGIS in Action' on Windows 7 from now on. Many thanks for suggesting and helping anyway. -- View this message in context: http://postgis.17.n6.nabble.com/PostGIS-2-0-instalation-problem-tp4624902p49 93596.html Sent from the PostGIS - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list [email protected] http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users -- "Quality comes from focus and clarity of purpose" -- Mark Shuttleworth
