Re: Silent install 8.3 diiffers from 8.2

Well it is the administrator account running the install, don't think I
could get any more privileged than that.
Near as I can tell even though the message says check privileges, the
installer really thinks there is another postgres running, however there
is not. Even with previous installs wiped clean, and processes cleared
out, even server reboot to make sure nothing is left over and restarted.

If it is ran in interactive mode everything works fine. I can install
interactive but I would prefer to script it.

The original post in April "Silent install 8.3 diiffers from 8.2"
appeared to have the same problem. I was hoping someone had figured out
what was wrong. I have had no problems silent installing 8.2 versions
and I am able to get silent install to work with 8.3.0 however with same
options 8.3.3 does not work.
Basic options with just:
INTERNALLAUNCH=1 SERVICEDOMAIN="MYDOMAIN" SERVICEPASSWORD="MYSERVICEPW"
SUPERPASSWORD="MYPGPW" PERMITTREMOTE=1 /qr

Once it fails and unwinds I can still run silent 8.2.x, or silent 8.3.0,
or interactive 8.3.3, but never works for silent 8.3.3!

Jerel-
any chance of running the postgres start script under god rights e.g.
runas /noprofile /user:mymachine\GOD net start PostsgreSQL
?

Has this issue been resolved by anyone?
I can install over and over manually but any attempt at silent install
fails with the same.
> "Service 'PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3' (pgsql-8.3) failed to start.
> Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
It works fine with 8.3.0 but not 8.3.3, what changes were made to the
installer?
I can verify that the previous version is un-installed, make sure the
postgres\8.3 directory is clear, and reboot the machine to verify that
no leftover processes remain? It still fails every time on silent
install, however a manual install blasts right through with no problems.
I would like to hand my sa a script and say just run this rather than
hand him a script caviated with "Oh and by the way you have to do manual
install on all 30 machines."
