cant get past postgres insatall

[pokerkhunta]

just purchased holdem manager, i have had pokertracker 3 installed on my PC before and have removed all software. Now when trying holdem manager I cant get past the postgres install. It gets 3/4 along the install bar and stops. What do i do now?

Does it give an error? What SQL version and isntaller are you using? .ZIP or .EXE? If .zip, make sure you extract the zip contents before running the installer.

If you didn't uninstall SQL fully before, please do so now.


Please update to the latest beta - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/HmBetaUpdate.exe

Vista: Turn off UAC - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=73

Turn off Windows Firewall for installing HM and PostgreSQL. Once you get those installed you can add exceptions to the firewall. If you have a 3rd party firewall, uninstall it completely before installing HM/SQL - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=171

For uninstalling SQL please follow these steps:

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) manually delete or rename the Program Files\Postgresql folders
3) run the command - start > run > cmd >

net user postgres /delete
4) reboot.
5) Install PostgreSQL 8.4, with your firewall uninstalled or turned off if windows firewall - http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdownload.do#windows
