Обсуждение: Bug: 8.0.0b5 Win Server Installer

Test platform = Win 2000 plus all service packs, hotfixes.
No previous PostgreSQL ever installed on the machine before.

8.0.0 beta 5 installation executable from
http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller

Installed NOT AS A SERVICE, repeat NOT as a WinNT/2K service.
Told installer to put installation in

    C:\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta5\*

but almost everything went instead to

    C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta5\*

The installer script seems "hard wired" to
use "Program Files" folder.  This is a bug.

The only files that were put into the specified
folder were

   C:\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta5\bin\ecpg.exe
   C:\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta5\include\*.h  (C header files)
   C:\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta5\lib\(*.dll | *.a) (dev stuff)

While everything else went into

   C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta5\*

This sounds like you changed the target path only of the "Development"
sub-feature, and not the "root" item in the feature tree. The installer
supports both setting on the "root" item to move the entire installation
or to set it on a single node to move just  that mode.
