Hi Mark,

yes, it´s a windows file permissions problem. But i´m the administrator so i don´t know... Googling i've found there´re problems with read only attribute in windows xp ( but it nevers was a problem until now). You can´t change read-only attribute with some folders ... But it´s not a problem for windows to delete that read-only folders ( well, sometimes yes). I can delete postgresql installation folder but can´t write files into the same folder...

But what i can´t understand is what is different now : i have installed previous version of both postgresql and postgis and never had this issue. Maybe something have changed in postgresql install method? I´ll search in postgresql forum...

And other problem is, why can´t i find any other info about this topic in Inet? It seems a problem in my computer... Any examples of successfull installation of postgresql 8.3.3.1 with postgis 1.3.3 or 1.3.2 will be welcomed! :)

I´ll try to install postigs in other computer this afternoon...

Gus

Hi all,
i´m trying to upgrade my postgresql version ( it was 8.2) in windows , so i' ve downloaded and installed postgresql 8.3. When i try to install postgis 1.3.3 with the Application Stack Builder and after downloading the postgis installer, appears an error
 "Error opening file for writing" ( see jpg)
 everytime it wants to copy a file to the install_folder.
I was changed the directory name, i have downloaded postgis installation files from pgFoundry, i have changed to postgis 1.3.2 but nothing works.
Any help?
Thanks in advance,
 Gus


Hi Gus,

It almost looks like it's just a simple file permissions problem. Are you running the installer as an administrator, and does the administrator user have the correct file permissions on the relevant directories?


HTH,

Mark.
