I downloaded ftp.us.postgresql.org/pub/mirrors/postgresql/binary/v8.0.4/win32/postgresql-8.0.4.zip. I then double-clicked the file "postgresql-8.0". It says "Welcome to the PostgreSQL Installation Wizard...". The default english language is ok, so... I click the "Start" button, and immediately get a window labeled "Windows Installer" saying: This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists adn that you can access it or contact the appilcation vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package. So I tried the analgous file from 8.0.3, with the same results. What am I doing wrong? -- George Young -- "Are the gods not just?" "Oh no, child. What would become of us if they were?" (CSL)
