I also had the Error running Post Install Script error while trying to install ejabberd 2.0.5 on a windows server 2003 Virtual Machine. I tried multiple times.
I also tried to install 2.0.5 on an XP Vitual Machine, but got the same error.

I finally installed 2.0.3 on the Windows Server 2003 VM and it worked. But I have no clue as to why I could not install ejabberd 2.0.5.

Try the recent ejabberd 2.0.3

The recently released ejabberd 2.0.3 should have this problem fixed. If you try the new version and the problem persist, you can open a new thread.

It seems you don't have the

It seems you don't have the program 'which' installed, and it is required by the script ejabberdctl that was included in your copy of ejabberd.

A solution was committed today to SVN.

You can either wait for a new version to include this fix, or modify the 'ejabberdctl' file yourself. Just replace the line:

base="`dirname $(which "$0")`/.."

with:

here=`which "$0" 2>/dev/null || echo .`
base="`dirname $here`/.."

I also got this error, but

I also got this error, but when running it manually it says:

Try `dirname --help' for more information.
