Hi Regina, thanks for answering The compressed file that i was talking about was the postgis installation executable (i just asked 7zip to unzip it and it worked)
I tried installing a newer version too (9.2 + postgis 2.0.1), but that doesn't help. I also tried the binaries that you suggested, but that doesn't help either. Postgis 1.4 is the latest version that was installed successfully on this PC. It was deinstalled before i installed this newer version. 1) i rebooted but that doesn't help 2) that's service Pack 3 3) The virus software is called "Symantec Endpoint Protection" Cheers, Willy-Bas On Wed, Dec 19, 2012 at 4:33 PM, Paragon Corporation <[email protected]> wrote: > ** > Well I tried it on a windows xp 32-bit.
