destination folder issue<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hi all,<BR><BR>Just tried the windows installer, and its failing due
to the installation destination for PostGIS.<BR><BR>I can choose the destination
folder ok:<BR><BR>[screen capture]<BR><IMG alt=""
src="cid:916475722@21062014-1D0E"><BR><BR>(C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\)<BR><BR>However, when the installation gets kicked off, an
error stops the installation, stating "PostGIS has to be <BR>installed to the
PostgreSQL folder". <BR><BR>[screen capture]<BR><IMG alt=""
src="cid:916475722@21062014-1D15"><BR>What is the "output folder" in the above
dialogue, that seems to be pointing deep into the C:\users\userName\etc. etc.
location - is that the temp directory for the installation files, or the path
that PostGIS is trying to install?<BR><BR>So... why isn't the destination folder
being used for the installation as instructed?<BR><BR>Download files pulled from
