[postgis-users] Win32 Installer Update - PostgreSQL 8.0 beta 3 and PostGIS 0.9 branch

[Stefan Overkamp]

Hi,

after trying yesterday to install PostgreSQL 8.0.0 beta2
et PostGIS 0.9.0 ending with the error message, that
"pg_char_to_encoding" was not  found in libpq.dll.

I tried today
postgresql-8.0-beta3-dev1.msi and
postgis-setup-0.9.0CVS-1.exe
ending with
ERROR: column "datpath" does not exist
when trying to connect with pgAdmin III.

I want to install PostGIS vor testing purposes on
my Win XP Notebook. Is this possible, or should I wait
some time if things are better documented and
running?

Stefan
