Re: I am unable to install PostgreSql

Hi Melvin

Thanks for responding. I am using postgresql-9.4.4-3 version to install.
However I am getting the same issue with postgresql-9.3.9-3 version as
well. Kindly suggest, what needs to be done.

Regards
Shashank

I hope you realize that support for Windows 2003 ended July 2015
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/windows-server-2003/

Plus you never mentioned WHICH VERSION of PostgreSQL you are trying to
install.

Perhaps you should try a supported version of PostgreSQL on a supported
version of Windows.
That might work a little better.
