Thanks Regina,
I am about to try it.

Is it possible to have,using this procedure, under the same database, two 
templates (template_postgis20 and template_postgis15), and then create a new 
database with template_postgis15 as the template;

Or is it best to create a new database directly with 1.5 version?

As I understand it, I am going to

-          backup the newer versions of proj.dll and geos*.dll, run the bat 
script and then copy back the newer geos*.dll and proj.dll, and delete the old 
geos*.dll that the 1.5 bat script would copy over

-          I was going to comment out the postgisgui copy in the bat script 
because that is already installed during the 2.0 installation

Does that sound right to you?
Thanks,
Vishal

Vishal,

You just need to install the postgis scripts for 1.5 in the database (and copy 
over the postgis-1.5.dll etc in the lib folder).

Both can coexist on same cluster as long as they are in different databases.

If you look at the zip download packages we have the batch file will install 
the postgis in the specified database
PostGIS 1.5: http://www.postgis.org/download/windows/#windbinaries
PostGIS 2.0: 
http://www.postgis.org/download/windows/experimental.php#PostGIS_2_0_0

The only thing to keep in mind is currently they will share the same GEOS and 
Proj.  The PostGIS 2.0 has a slightly newer GEOS (geos 3.3.1 branch and I think 
the PostGIS 1.5.3 we packaged GEOS 3.3.0).  Note: 1.5.2 we packaged with GEOS 
3.2  which won't work with PostGIS 2.0.

If you plan to run both, you should use the GEOS in PostGIS 2.0.0 since the 
PostGIS 2.0.0 GEOS will is  backward compatible with 1.5.2 and 1.5.3.

Let us know if any of this is unclear.

Hope that helps,
Regina

Hi all,

My qn is how can I have postgis1.5 also installed, say in a different database, 
on the same machine and database cluster?

Thanks,
