Обсуждение: Win XP(SP2) install error

Hello everyone.
Sorry,I'm not good at English.

But Postgres8.2(Win) installer error ocurred.

Installing, when creating initdb process says error as follows,
"WS2 32.dll can't find. Fatal error"

See Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.2/tmp

But,that file is empty.



Regards,
Thanks.

Well, if it can't find ws2_32.dll you have a big problem. That's the
winsock library, it's a core part of windows, and postgresql can't work
without it. You need to find out why the file either does no exist, or
won't load. It could be a permissions problem, or a corruption of your
system of some kind.
