    Default install PostgreSQL in other drive

    Hi, I'm trying to install PostgreSQL not in C:\ but in other drive located in an external HD, but again and again the wizard while installing detects an old PostgreSQL installation on C:\ and starts to install there for update the existant installation. I've uninstalled all previous PostgreSQL folders existants on C:\ but again and again it happens the same thing, what can I do?

    The wizzard doesn't support other postgresql installation folders.
    You should download and install postgresql 8.4 from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database

    You have to manually move the \data folder that contains the database if it is already installed or you need to use a manual installer from the PostgreSQL site he linked to. Our combo installer only installs it to the C:\ drive to make things simple for the bulk of our users.

    Move Database - http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questio...e+or+Partition

    Or reinstall SQL -

    1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
    2) run the command - start > programs > accessories > command prompt > right-click > run as administrator
    PHP Code:
    net user postgres /delete 
    4) reboot.
    5) Download and install 8.4.8.1 - Download PostgreSQL | EnterpriseDB
