i am trying to install HM after my hard drive was wiped pout. when i get to the part to connect to postgresSQL, i have to do the install bc when i try to connect it does not work. however when i try double click the postgresql-8.3msi i get this error that says the "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package"

how can i fix this?

thanks

If you only double clicked the postgresql.zip download, you only opened it up in a preview window of sorts.

- Right-Click > Extract All to your postgresql.zip file.
- That should create a new folder with the contents, which should allow the setup to run properly.
- If you have any issues with the windows not having an Extract menu under Right-Click, try www.7zip.org.
