[postgis-users] PostGIS 2.0 instalation problem

[Paragon Corporation]

Willy,
 
when you say compressed postgis file -- you mean the one on this page?
 
http://www.postgis.org/download/windows/#windbinaries
 
I unfortunately don't have a windows xp machine readily handy to test with.
I haven't tried upgrading my test to 9.1.7 to rule that out as an issue so
I'll give that a try.
This issue is usually caused by libxml2-2.dll incompatibilities.  Though I
gather you are using the one packaged with PostGIS since it looks like the
postgres one isu using libxml2.dll
 
Have you been running PostGIS 2 or 1.5 on your windows xp successfully in
past
 
Thanks,
Regina

Hi,


I have the same problem.

I installed postgres on an XP PC, which worked fine. (PostgreSQL 9.1.7,
compiled by Visual C++ build 1500, 32-bit)

Then I used the StackBuilder to install PostGIS 2.

Upon creating the extension, i get the error "ERROR: could not load library
"C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/postgis-2.0.dll": unknown error 998"

The same happens when executing the sql "create extension postgis;"


I tried pasting the contents from the bin folder from the compressed postgis
installation file into ../9.1/bin/, but to no avail.


I used Depends.exe to diagnose, like Paragon suggested.

I included the dwi-file as an attachment.

Is there anything i can do?


Cheers,


WBL

So, I've been trying to install PostGIS 2.0 over and over again on several
different Windows XP computers, but didn't succeed in getting it up and
running. So I ended up borrowing my brother's Windows 7 pc, using the exact
same download (postgreSQL + postgis using stackbuilder) which took me about
5 minutes to succesfully install the whole thing.

I have no clue why it doesn't work on my XP. More exactly, why it can't find
the correctly located postgis-2.0.dll-file. But at least I'll be able to
test and recap the 'PostGIS in Action' on Windows 7 from now on.

Many thanks for suggesting and helping anyway.
