Обсуждение: There's any version that work on Windows 2000??

There is no way to install "PostgreSQL 8.0.0 Beta4" and any other version
in my windows 2000. No matter what user i use or any kind of configuration
option combination it's allways the same.

I start the installation and in the moment that the installation said:

################################################################
Activating procedural languages...

it throws this error:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Failed to connect to the database. Procedural languages files are installed.
but are not activated in any database.

server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormaliy before or while
processing
the request.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

any way i accept the messages and go on but the installer said

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Activating contrib modules...

and throws another error:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Failed to connect to the database. Contrib files are installed, but are
not activated in eny databases.

server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormaliy before or while
processing
the request.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I don't know if i'm doing something wrong but the installation coudn't be
that dificult.

It seams to be a joke nothing works well in any version of windows installation.

Please if i'm doing something wrong say it to me couse im turning green.

Sorry for ungry words but i have another concept about Postgres
I wish i'm wrong about this.

Thanks of all

This is the wrong list for reporting installer bugs. You should probably
try contacting windows-installer team as it's not part of the core
PostgreSQL database anyway.
   http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller/
They have bug trackers and mailing lists available. It's worth checking
the mailing list archives to see if anyone else has similar problems.

Also check the FAQ:
   http://pginstaller.projects.postgresql.org/FAQ_windows.html
It notes that firewall/antivirus programs can cause problems - check
your logs.

For what it's worth, I've not seen reports like yours before, so there
could be something different about your Windows 2000 machine versus most
people's.
