Default [BUGS] Version control for DLLs installed into WINNT/system32 - 11-26-2004 , 10:47 AM






I've found that if you have installed a previous beta release (e.g. beta4)
and deinstall it, then the DLLs in system32 are not removed (e.g.
libpq.dll). Furthermore, if you then install beta5, it does not complain but
doesn't overwrite the old versions either.

As a consequence, the old DLLs are used by beta5 and the DB does not work.
The same applies to libeay32.dll.

That is not good, and needs to be fixed. Please log a bug with the pginstal=
ler project on pgfoundry.org.

That is normal. We don't bump file versions during beta. Once a new product=
ion release is installed it will have a higher version number on libpq.dll,=
and the file will automatically be replaced.

The uninstall part. This file has not changed during beta, though, so it sh=
ouldn't be a problem. A problem with this file is that we pull it in from u=
pstream, and it doesn't have a versioninfo tag...
