Our company embeds postgres in our product and we've run into a small
installation problem... a few of our customers have disabled "windows
secondary logon" service as a security measure (thise are Fortune 500-
type companies). Is there any way to get around the need for sec logon
in the installer? AFAICT, it's not needed for runtime, and only during
install for initialize the databse cluster.
(I do plan to RTFsource of the installer, but since I'm not a windows guru..)
One option offered is to create the ./data directory on another system
and copy it in before running the install. How safe is this? (We are
the only user of pg on the target system.)
