--- Comment #2 from Alexander Scott-Johns alexander.scott.johns+winebug@googlemail.com 2010-01-26 19:46:19 --- Bug still present with postgresql-8.3.9-1.zip [1] and wine-1.1.37-103-g356b06f.
I was able to progress a bit by directly running the internal installer: $ wine msiexec /i postgresql-8.3-int.msi INTERNALLAUNCH=1 INSTALLLANG=en
If I uncheck "Install as a service" on the "Service configuration" page, the installation starts, then stops with a "Fatal error" - "Installation ended prematurely because of an error:" message (I assume something is meant to appear after the ':').
If I leave "Install as a service" checked, the installer allows me to create a new user (not sure if this worked), then displays another error: "Service check" - "Failed to open the Secondary Logon service: Service does not exist". After I manage to get past this error, I then get the "Fatal error", as before.
After the installation aborts (in both cases), I have some rather odd behaviour. Any attempt to run Wine displayed a postgres error message in the terminal:
pg_ctl: no operation specified Try "pg_ctl --help" for more information
I have to do a wineserver -k and rm -rf $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program\ Files/PostgreSQL/8.3 to get Wine into a sane state again.
