Some results. First, I tried commenting out the sections on checking
the existence of template_postgis but I need a couple more pieces to be
able to build the NSI file on my system. Is there a location where I
can find all files or do I have to set up mingw and execute the bash
files ?
Anyhow, I manually created template_postgis in pgAdmin just to test the
postGIS installer :
CREATE DATABASE template_postgis
WITH OWNER = postgres ENCODING = 'WIN1252'
Then when I run the postGIS installer I have the message saying
template_postgis exists (which this time is true) and if I proceed it
will overwrite it, so I go "yes" and it does the delete of the existing
template_postgis object and creates the new one fine. From then on, the
rest of the postGIS installation runs fine. Only glitch is that my
newly created template_postgis object now reads :
CREATE DATABASE template_postgis
WITH OWNER = postgres ENCODING = 'UTF-8'
So there's an encoding problem. The NSI file mentions Unicode as
encoding ??
To summarize :
- I have found the installer to think template_postgis exists whereas it
does not exist (which causes the installer to crash when it tries to
delete a non-existing object)
- It is not possible to specify an encoding other that UTF-8
If I could easily build the NSI file I could try and play with the
condition that checks the existence of the template_postgis object.

Hi Yves,
If you check the source you can see that all the installer does is
create some batch files to launch psql and run them in the background.
Hence if you look in the %TEMP%\postgis_installer directory you should
be able to see these batch files, along with any error output produced
by each one. Normally it is fairly easy to find out what is going wrong
by running these files manually.
HTH,
Mark.
