Hi all, I'm a newbie student, just finished reading 'Postgis in action' and now trying to get PostGIS2.0 up and running for the first time. Now I'm suffering a similar problem in setup like the one mentioned earlier in this thread.
Using Windows XP SP3 I was able to install the latest PostgreSQl 9.1.3 stable version. Trying to install PostGIS 2.0 with the one-click installer fails during makepostgisdb.bat (CREATE EXTENSION postgis;): ERROR: could not load library "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/postgis-2.0.dll": unknown error 998 I tried several approaches (restarting, copying by hand, renaming, etc) as mentioned in similar other threads but nothing succeeded so far. All the important files seem to be in the right place. It seemed some needed dependencies first were missing (LIBGEOS, LIBXML2-2, POSTGRES, LIBPROJ-0) so I added the PGBIN to the environment variable. After restart Dependency Walker now finds these mentioned files but there are still dependency errors on IESHIMS.dll and WER.dll. I read that these are unnecessary/unused in Windows Xp. Does this imply that it is impossible to install PostGIS2.0 on Windows XP? Before there were a lot of errors but now the pg_log file only throws the "could not load library postgis-2.0" error line like: 2012-05-02 00:25:05 CEST LOG: database system was shut down at 2012-05-01 23:26:44 CEST 2012-05-02 00:25:06 CEST LOG: database system is ready to accept connections 2012-05-02 00:25:06 CEST LOG: autovacuum launcher started 2012-05-02 00:25:30 CEST ERROR: could not load library "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/postgis-2.0.dll": unknown error 998 2012-05-02 00:25:30 CEST STATEMENT: CREATE EXTENSION postgis; 2012-05-02 00:25:30 CEST ERROR: required extension "postgis" is not installed 2012-05-02 00:25:30 CEST STATEMENT: CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology; I have no clue how to proceed from here... Any suggestions?
