I downloaded installer postgresql-9.0.1-1-windows.exe from the official site, ran it, and then got an error: An error occurred executing the Microsoft VC++ runtime installer What is the reason for this error message? Platform: Windows XP SP3, Dell Inspiron 1501. Processor: AMD Sempron 3500+  asked Nov 26, 2010 at 20:14 1 One of the reasons this can happen is because the installer attempts to install an older version of the VC++ runtime than what you are currently using. See this installation log, found in your user's temporary directory (e.g. [20C0:20E4][2019-02-14T19:31:07]e000: Error 0x80070666: Cannot install a product when a newer version is installed.

PostgreSQL (as of version 9.2.2.1) handles that poorly. If I use this account on Windows XP, installation fails with the "An error occurred executing the Microsoft C++ runtime installer" message: But it runs just fine with this: The spaces in "Documents and settings" don't seem to bother the installer.

I had to uninstall the Microsoft VC++ and run the installer again. It downloaded the required VC++ and the installation went successful. |
