[postgis-users] Probelm with postgis-pg81-setup-1.1.6-1 in XP

[Jan Syryn]

I had the same problem.
I wanted to upgrade the Postgis install on WinXP.
So I removed the postgis installation out of postgressql by the postgres
installer.
And indeed when re-installing postgis it generates errors.
(Eventhough the postgres installer shows postgis is not installed (anymore))

The only thing I could do (without loosing too much time over this) is
unstalling postgres, reinstall it without postgis and do the postgis install
separately.

HIH, Jan

Hi Mark,

thanks for Your answer

Yes of course, it was the first I did!

I did it before I wrote this mail, at least twice. At the moment, when I run
the Postgresql installer it shows that the Postgis is not installed. How can
I check what version of Postgis I have?

Thanks
