Hi,

I've downloaded PostgreSQL, but when I'm trying to install I get the following error message: "User postgres could not be created, The user account already exists" (see the attached file)


Well, i've tried this several times with the same results. When I type another account name (holdemmanager for example) I get an other error message, it says that no mapping between account name and secure ID was found etc..

I would be very grateful for help with this issue.

Thanks,
Anna

Hi,

while installing, just edit the username in the first of the 2 windows where you can choose a name and password.

Thank you for your help. What username should I type? Could I choose any username I want, or should it be something specific?

For example, when I tried to use another username (Holdemmanager to make it simple), I got another error message - it said that no mapping between account name and secure ID was found. How come?

You can choose whatever you want, never heard of this error. Are you trying to install the latest release? (8.3.3)
