[postgis-users] POSTGIS 2.0 on WIn

[Paragon Corporation]

We'll be releasing a 2.0.0rc1 soon probably in the next day or so.

Regarding why it's still not working
1) Did you run one of the batch scripts.
2) Can you verify you have the following files in your bin folder
a) libgdal-1.dll
b) libgeos_c-1.dll
c) libgeos-3-3-3dev.dll
d) libproj-0.dll (that I assume you already checked)

3) and you have postgis-2.0.dll and rtpostgis-2.0.dll in your lib folder
(Note these must go in the lib folder not the bin folder)

Let us know if it still doesn't work with those.  We haven't recently tested
on windows xp so there
might be some dependency that exists on windows 2008 and windows 7 (which
are the two platforms we've been testing mostly with) that we don't have in
place that is needed by xp.
We'll try that tomorrow on an xp box if you are still having issues.

Thanks,
Regina and Leo
