Been trying to install Postgres version 9.2.4-1 on my desktop (Vista x32). Downloaded the installer but upon running the .exe a blank window came up with the installer name as title.
This was strange as the installer worked fine on my office pc, also running vista x32. I've tried googling but there are no solutions abound. I've tried the following steps:-
- redownloaded the installer. no dice.
- downloaded older versions of the installer and the x64 version (same problem)
- fully updated vista.
- ensured admin rights
- tried running from command line.
- disabled UAC and windows firewall.
- event logs did not show anything nor was there an install-postgresql.log in the %temp% folder.
- Disabled antivirus
- Followed the FAQ on common installation errors.
my user variable PATH:
C:\RailsInstaller\Git\cmd;C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby1.9.3\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_15\bin;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\lib
been going crazy trying to figure this out! please help.
