System Configuration


---------------------
Architecture (example: Intel Pentium) : AMD 2500XP

Operating System (example: Linux 2.4.18) : Win2000 5.00.2195, sp4


PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-8.0):
postgresql-8.0.0-rc2.msi


Compiler used (example: gcc 2.95.2) : none


Please enter a FULL description of your problem:


------------------------------------------------
postgresql-8.0.0-rc2.msi will not install on drive e:. The following
directory trees are created:
"E:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-rc2\data"
"E:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-rc2\tmp"

I've attempted implementing the work-around as described in the
following:
"Running & Installing PostgreSQL On Native Windows FAQ, 3.5) I'm getting
permissions errors when installing/running initdb.
But, the error persists as described in 3.5. I solve the problem by
installing the postgresql-8.0.0-rc2.msi in:
"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-rc2"


I believe the correct result should be to install
postgresql-8.0.0-rc2.msi in:
"E:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-rc2"


Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:

Create a "Program Files" subdirectory tree on a drive other than "C:\",
I would suggest trying "E:\". Apply the workaround described in
"Running & Installing PostgreSQL On Native Windows FAQ, 3.5). Attempt
to install postgresql-8.0.0-rc2.msi in "E:\Program Files".
Drive "E:\" is an NTFS Dynamic Partition.
