Re: Installing PostGIS 2.0

Hi Tom,

I don't think so. I went to the postgresql 9.1 folder and launched
stack builder from there. It then asked me which installation of
postgresql I was launching software for, so I selected 9.1. I then
followed the steps and got this error.

It seems like there is some error with PostGIS already being installed
no? It goes to create a template and finds one there already?

Thanks

James



I note that when I launch pgAdminIII I now have two servers. 8.4 and 9.1.
