I've been trying to install postgresql on my cousins computer and nothing works. We either get an error about VC++ or something about TEMP environment depending on which version we try to install.
I've tried all the advice i've found. Disabled UAC, removed 3rd party firewall and disabled windows firewall, enable WSH. Nothing fucking works.
What is there left to do? Running vista if it matters.

Run a manual Windows Update and install updates.
Vista must be updated to Service Pack 2, and have all .net framework updates installed.

Make sure the secondary logon service is running. The secondary logon service is a standard windows service which is available on every windows computer. In the latest versions it is not started automatically. You need to start it via control panel > administrative tools > services. Starting it once should insure it works in the future also.


Try this version of PostgreSQL PostgreSQL: Choose a Mirror (http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp/binary/v8.2.20/win32/postgresql-8.2.20-1.zip)
