Re: Fwd: StackBuilder can't fetch application list?

Hi John,

if what you are seeing in the browser looks something like this

<applications>
<application>
<id>pgoledb</id>
<platform>windows</platform>
<version>1.0.0.20</version>
<name>PgOleDB</name>
<description>An OLE DB Provider for PostgreSQL</description>
<category>Database Drivers</category>
<format>msi</format>
<upgradeoptions>/qr REINSTALLMODE=vamus REINSTALL=all</upgradeoptions>
<checksum>E148691AA76A81033438FC9B03F4478A</checksum>
<mirrorpath>
/projects/pgFoundry/stackbuilder/PgOleDB-1.0.0.20.msi
</mirrorpath>
<versionkey>Software\PgOleDB\Version</versionkey>
</application>
...

Then this is the xml that you should expect to see from the URL
http://www.postgresql.org/applications-v2.xml.

If this is the case it would seem that your proxy settings in IE are ok, and
that stackbuilder is having difficulty accessing it.

I don't use windows any more so cant suggest where to look further in
stackbuilder, here are some places you could look though.

- Are there settings in stackbuilder for Proxy?
- Do you have firewall software installed that blocks unauthorised
applications from accessing the the internet?

Hope this helps

Regards

Craig
