PostGIS 9.5 Bundle Installer Fails (at least on Windows 7)

[aanderson]

Hi,

Note, this is a different issue than #1602, though probably related to it.

in this directory:

​http://download.osgeo.org/postgis/windows/pg95/

both of the executables

postgis-bundle-pg95x32-setup-2.2.1-1.exe postgis-bundle-pg95x64-setup-2.2.1-1.exe

fail to install after the page where the postgres user password is set, producing the error message

PostGIS has to be installed to the PostgreSQL folder

I am running Windows 7, fully updated.

Thanks,

Where is your PostgreSQL 9.5 installed? That error message as I recall, pops up if you try to install it in a folder where PostgreSQL is not installed.

Replying to robe:

Thanks for your quick response.

I’m sorry, I may be confused by the name on this installer:

postgis-bundle-pg95x32-setup-2.2.1-1.exe

What does “bundle” refer to here? I thought it meant PostGIS was bundled with PostgreSQL. And the installer offers up the appropriate location for a PostgreSQL install (C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.5\) as if it already found what it is looking for.

So the real issue may be that the error message should say something like “Cannot find the folder where PostgreSQL is installed”.

Thanks,

The ticket is no longer valid:

• Postgres95 is no longer supported
• PostGIS for that version is no longer supported
