Same result I've afraid:

log.txt

Done!

Same three files in install_logs are empty.

Thanks

Well spotted.

They were:
locale = English (United Kingdom)
encoding = UTF8

I tried 'Specify Custom Locale and Encoding' with
locale = English (United States)
encoding = UTF8

Unfortunately I got the same result in all respects except intiout.txt where the encoding showed up:

Calling initdb as user enterprisedb...

C:\PostgresPlus\8.3AS\dbserver\scripts-win>"C:\PostgresPlus\8.3AS\dbserver\bin\initdb" --pwfile=password.txt -U enterprisedb -D "C:\PostgresPlus\8.3AS\data" -A md5 --locale="English_United States.1252" --encoding=UTF8 1>"C:\PostgresPlus\8.3AS\dbserver\..\install_logs\initdb_stdout.txt" 2>"C:\PostgresPlus\8.3AS\dbserver\..\install_logs\initdb_stderr.txt"
Done!

Thanks for your help

Thanks for your help.

There are four files in install_log:
initdb_stderr.txt
initdb_stdout.txt
initerr.txt
initout.txt

All are completely empty except initout.txt which contains:

Calling initdb as user enterprisedb...
Initializing Database Cluster

C:\PostgresPlus\8.3AS\dbserver\scripts-win>"C:\PostgresPlus\8.3AS\dbserver\bin\initdb" --pwfile=password.txt -U enterprisedb -D "C:\PostgresPlus\8.3AS\data" -A md5 --locale="English_United Kingdom.1252" --encoding= 1>"C:\PostgresPlus\8.3AS\dbserver\..\install_logs\initdb_stdout.txt" 2>"C:\PostgresPlus\8.3AS\dbserver\..\install_logs\initdb_stderr.txt"
Done!

...which looked like it had been successful to me!

Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.

Hi

We're using Advanced Server for our core systems, so I'm just trying to do a local install to familiarise myself with Postgres.
I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3 and I've downloaded Postgres Plus Advanced Server 8.3 (8.3.0.12) (pgplus-advsvr-windows_83012b.exe)

When I run the setup the install fails at 33% and the log file contains:

(Aug 19, 2008 11:22:33 AM), Install, com.enterprisedb.isaction.InitDBFailAction, err, An error occurred and product installation failed. Look at the log file C:\PostgresPlus\8.3AS\log.txt for details.

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)

I've selected "PostgreSQL-compatible defaults and samples", default options for the rest.
Password for EnterpriseDB is 8 characters, upper and lower case and number, no symbols.
I've tried deleting and recreating EnterpriseDB user. Logged on as EnterpriseDB locally. Added EnterpriseDB to local Adminstrators
Tried with -use_local_logon but got error "Invalid command line option: -use_local_logon is not supported"
Tried deleting C:\Documents and Settings\enterprisedb\Local Settings\Temp\ files

Does anyone have any other suggestions please?
Thanks in advance.

Ian
