The only thing I would change is that the "Initializing Database Cluster" message has a title with that text, but the message says it will take a minute or two. Should we also put text in the window indicating we are initializing the database cluster, rather than just mention it in the title. Also, we have no "uninstall" option on the START menu. Is this intentional? I used the control panel to uninstall the previous version. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Momjian wrote: > Jochem van Dieten wrote: > > Dave Page wrote: > > > I've just packaged and uploaded a new version of the Win32 PostgreSQL > > > installer beta, with PostgreSQL 8.0 Beta 1 and todays snapshot of > > > pgAdmin III.
