Hi Mark,

Glad you found the installer useful. The MSI itself was simply a re-build of
the standard pginstaller along with the a fresh PostgreSQL 8.0 source tree
compiled with LDFLAGS=-lstdc++, GEOS, PROJ and PostGIS, so I would hope that
when I manage to rebuild against the latest beta this problem should go
away. Note that beta1 and beta2 both have some really fundamental bugs, so I
hope to be able to sort this real soon....


Kind regards,

Mark.
