Installing HEM On A Different Partition

[zartog]

Hi,

I'm having the same issues I think..

However I have:
uninstalled all my AV/firewall software (bit defender),
I've tried to re install, downloaded and tried to re install the hm_1.11.06g.exe
added local 127.0.0.1 a file I saw mentioned
can't see a file called postmaster.pid
I've tried to install postgresql v 9.0.4-1 (although not quite sure what I was doing here)
I've run all updates on windows

The trial version was all running fine and when I came to unlock it after paying my money over it's failed. I was using the trial a few months ago though.

One thing I will mention that I'm not sure is an issue is that I am running a dual boot machine, however I don't have this issue with any other windows programs.

The database control has
server name 127.0.0.1
Port 5432
login postgres
password postgrespass

I tried to ping 127.0.0.1 from the run cmd option, but don't get anything?

I've tried removing postgreSQL but when I try to reinstall it says it is already installed. How do I make sure it is fully removed? As the option is now not in uninstall programs.

I don't see why software that I have paid good money for should be this hard to install..

Just tried again to do a reinstall and the error message I am getting now is

"The installation directory must be an absolute path, containing only letter, numbers and the characters '-' '/' '.' and '_', and must be writable."

I'm only using the default setting when trying to install.

Again it did seem to think that postgresql was already installed. :-s

Install SQL 8.2: PostgreSQL: Choose a Mirror


If it doesn't accept 'postgrespass' as password during the installation, install the postgres user first.

click on Start and go to Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt

* If you are on Vista, rightclick and choose "Run as Administrator".


A black box should appear. Type 'net user postgres /delete' (without the quotes) and press enter.

The user is now deleted and you can (re)install PostgreSQL.
