Installer problem on Windows with `pgpass.conf` not found #132

Closed devilgate closed 5 years ago

Fred reported as follows:

I tried this on both my laptop and my desktop and the installer window quickly shuts itself after it starts. I’ve managed a printscreen on both machines though.

The error message (“Failed to execute script install”) seems to be related to my progresql installations as it doesn’t find the pgpass.conf file in the App/Roaming directory as expected. I’ve tried reinstalling postgresql but it hasn’t changed the outcome.

First thing is to strengthen the "Don't run by double-clicking" warning in the Quickstart Guide. Second -- or third -- is to find a way to successfully capture all the output in a file.

But the main thing is to find out what went wrong with pgpass.conf.

The pgpass.conf problem was simple: I wasn't creating the directory structure if it didn't exist, so that part is fixed. But capturing the full output is essential.

Fixed in #136.
