Bug reference: 1357
Logged by: Winfried Maus
Email address: wmaus@wmaus.net
PostgreSQL version: 8.0
Operating system: Windows Server 2003
Description: Installation via Terminal Service
Details:
When trying to install PostgreSQL 8.0.0 RC2 within a CONSOLE Terminal
Session, the installer prompts a dialog box, that PostgreSQL cannot be
installed using a terminal session but must be run from the console.
Since RDP Client 5.2 supports the /console switch to force a terminal
session into console mode which works fine with every other software I tried
to install, I consider this behaviour a bug in the PostgreSQL installer.
Merry x-mas and greetings from Germany. :-)
