Well I tried it on a windows xp 32-bit. It was running 9.1.4 2.0.0. So first upgraded to 2.0.1 via stackbuilder (it did give me a failure) which was odd. Then upgraded to 9.1.7 and my 2.0.1 for some reason was fine then. To rule out issue with a clean 9.1.7 and postgis overwriting binaries I uninstalled 9.1.7 and postgis (whiche required reboot) , deleted the whole PostgreSQL folder, reinstalled 9.1.7, then 2.0.1 via stackbuilder. All seemed to go fine. It's possible I have something else installed on this machine it's using, but it does rule out XP alone being an issue. 1) Did you try rebooting your pc afterward? 2) Which service pack are you running on windows xp. 3) What virus software -- I've seen for example (I think it was Norton) delete some postgresql files on one machine thus preventing postgresql from starting. Hope that helps, Regina

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
