Setting up 2nd PC error with Postgres on install

[Freedom]

Right, someone please save me from my tired postgres error madness!

I'm trying to set-up a second machine as I'm trying to do a video on my laptop and it doesn't like it so it goes extremely slow. So, I decided to install HEM and poker client on an old desktop. The trouble comes when I go to start after the install and the following comes up. Help Please:-

Manually download and install SQL 9.0.1 from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database
Password during installation is postgrespass

If it doesn't accept the password, delete the postgres user first: Hi,

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 /del'(without the quotes) and press enter.

The user is now deleted and you can install PostgreSQL.

Did this, but the following came up:-

Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly
Error reading file C:Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.0/data/postgresql.conf

Which operating system?
Any firewall or other security software?

Please try postgresql 8.4 and 8.3 instead (PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database).

Running XP 32bit. Super AntiSpyware. Thats about it, apart from Microsoft standard Firewall. Postgre is under exemption with the Firewall

but the 8.4 was the one I had initially!?! The one with the auto install.

A miracle would be really handy right now. I am supposed to be doing a 1 hour video that is supposed to be done and with someone in less than 6 hours. So, tilted atm

Our installer is 8.4.1
If you install 8.4.5 from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (which will update your installation) it often fixes any problems.

Let us know which error you get during installation of 8.4.5
