rtpostgis-2.1.dll invalid access to memory location

[aikirhino]

There seems to be a problem with this dll on Windows 7 and Windows 8 running PostgreSQL 9.3 64bit. What I've tried so far is re-installing from the postgis-bundle-pg93.exe, copying from the zip archive all the files from the PostGIS2.1/bin into the postqesql bin.

Output:

Which version are you using (2.1.1 ?) and which exact version of postgreSQL 9.3

select version() , postgis_full_version();

I've run into this problem once or twice on my windows 7 and was never able to recreate the issue. Someone else complained and then when they restarted their service the issue went away.

See related tickets #2460 , #2476

You might also want to verify your gdal path location as I suspect that might be related if the path doesn't exist.

forgot to say other things that I suspect may cause this

1) GDAL_DATA path not set (e.g. you said no to the set path question in installer, or you hand set it yourself wrong) 2) Permission issue to the GDAL_DATA path 3) You copied over files while those files were in use so your copy did not overwrite everything

4) You many need to restart your PostgreSQL service for new changes such as gdal data path to take effect.

Haven't heard back so closing this out.
