Re: PostgreSQL 9.0 (x86-64) and Windows 7 (x86-64) - Unable to install

Hi Peter,

We tried to reproduce this issue but could not do so. We have tried both the
cases but both were not reproducible. Can you please provide more
information which can help us in reproducing the issue,

Thanks,
Dharmendra
