Ive tried setting this up but get the following error:

Failed to run intidb: 1!
Please see the logfile yadayada.

So I go to the log file and it says the following:
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.

No idea where to get the application event log.

What now???

Thanks,

This is the what the log says:
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin\initdb.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

Now I tried to run it again 10 minutes ago and I get a new error msg:
Product: PostgreSQL 8.3 -- Failed to create temporary directory.

Should I try PostgreSQL 8.2 instead?

-Install the vcredist_x86.exe which was in the postgresql.zip


"Now I tried to run it again 10 minutes ago and I get a new error msg:

- Delete the "tmp" folder in C:\Program files\postgresql\8.3

Hi,

I have the same problem as YomYom and PostreQsl installation is giving me same error message as to YomYom. I tried to install "vcredist_x86.exe" but windows is giving me this message

"asennuksessa taphtui virhe. Lisätietoja ohjeissa." Is translated: "In setup was happened a mistake. More information from manual."
And I'm using windows vista 64bit. What should I do?

Presuming you have your PostgreSQL database backed up then uninstall PostgreSQL via control panel then delete the PostgreSQL folder from C:\Program Files\ and then reinstall PostgreSQL

I re-installed postgresql and it is still giving same errors...

You don't have the Visual C++ runtime libraries installed on your pc for some reason. The one that comes with the postrgesql download is not 64 bit. Download this one:

And install it and it should work afterwards
