Re: Windows 8.0 beta on Server 2003 Installer problem

I wondered about the corrupt installer problem (since I cannot download fil=
es here I downloaded it at home and put on CD), but it installed fine on Wi=
ndows XP Professional.=20=20

Perhaps this is a corruption that XP forgives but 2003 does not.  I've had =
some problems with 2003 on this box (Dell GX260) reading certain ISO CDs, b=
ut I copied the file locally to run the program.

I logged in as local administrator to run the program.

One of our IT admin guys said I could test it on his server 2003 so I'll tr=
y it out and see how it goes.

Thanks

I digged through you log, and stumbled:

#######################################################
MSI (c) (B0:94): Product: PostgreSQL 8.0-beta2-dev3 -- The installer has en=
countered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a =
problem with this package. The error code is 2819. The arguments are: Servi=
ce_Dialog, esvcacct,

###  MSI (c) (B0:94): Database string pool is corrupted.    ####
#######################################################

For me this looks like a corrupted installer package - or some other readin=
g problems. Did you check the validity of that particular installer package=
, to avoid "corrupted .msi file"?

Are you logged in locally to the server? Local Administrator? There are var=
ious reports about problems with remote-console-installation (but they do u=
sually appear later :)) )
