Hi,
trying latest pgsql8.4 and postgis1.4.0 on Win-XP
pgsql8.4 was installed OK.
in the readme.txt of postgis (zip) downloaded, using the steps, the following errors occur (from dos prompt screen)
CAPS are my prompts below.

--Creating a template postgis database or new postgis database  --
1) Copy the contents of this folder into C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4 or where you have installed
DONE OK (Just copied the folder postgis-pg84-binaries-1.4.0 in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4)
2) "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin\psql" -p 5432 -U postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE template_postgis14"
DONE OK
3) "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin\psql" -p 5432 -U postgres -d template_postgis14 -c "CREATE LANGUAGE plpgsql"
SYSTEM SAYS IT ALREADY EXISTS
4) "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin\psql" -p 5432 -U postgres -d template_postgis14 -f "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\share\contrib\postgis\postgis.sql"
THIS ABORTED AFTER MANY LONG Messages

STEPS 5,6,7 to be done
