 The faq still applies as the most likely reason. It can certainly happen 
 with the installer created account as well, for example due to a group
 policy on the computer or domain.

Of course, but what was also not mentioned is that this is a standalone
machine with auto-login, so GP would not be an issues. Local policy
could be I guess, but I would imagine Andreas hasn't tweaked that given
that he's got no access control in place.

Point. I'm back to referring to the FAQ suggestion to enable auditing to
see exactly what it's failing on. ;-)

 The german message means: Login failed: a requested login

 Since the message was returned in german and the installer was

We tried both, let the installer create the user (this works, he also
added the service part) and create the user manually (and let the
installer do the service part).

In any case the installer stops at initdb.

[HACKERS] Problem with windows installer

2007-01-03 Thread Andreas 'ads' Scherbaum

Hello all,

a friend of mine ran into a problem installing PostgreSQL 8.0.9 on a
Windows XP Pro machine. Before anyone is asking: it has to be a 8.0.x
version and we even tried to install 8.2 and it did not work.

Ok, the problem is: after installing all the files the installer wants
to init the db and fails with the following error:

Failed to create process for initdb: Anmeldung fehlgeschlagen: Dem

erteilt.

The german message means: Login failed: a requested login
type was not given to the user on this computer.
Since the message was returned in german and the installer was
started in english, the message is generated by windows.

Has anyone an idea, what's going wrong here and how to fix this?

Here are some ideas we already tried:
- manual creating of the postgres user
- remove all remnants of the installation including the created user
- checking for being a windows superuser
- testing the same package/version on two different systems,
  one XP Home and one XP Pro, works without errors
- and yes, some reboots


Thanks in advance for your help
