* There is no way to run Holdemmanager without Postgresql. But i'm 99% sure we will get it running.

* I suggest you use Postgresql 8.4 which is a little bit smarter in the installation procedure. http://www.enterprisedb.com/getfile.jsp?fileid=689

* And make sure that UAC is switched off http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=73
and you need to have administrator rights.

* When Postgresql is running you need to update to the latest Holdemmanager Beta from the link in my signature before creating the Holdemmanager database. Choose UTF as coding then.

* Please come back if you need further help.

I switched off UAC and tried installing the new version on that link.

But now I got a new problem " Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly. The database cluster initialisation failed."

I also tried with " run as administror" when I pressed on install file. But it still failed :(

Is there something else I can do ?

BEst regards

What firewalls and internet security do you use?

Turn off windows firewall and uninstall any other firewalls, internet security, or anti-virus programs temporarily.

I had that similar error for a customer, and I think I avoided it by going back to the old 8.3.7 installer.

Download and Extract All contents to a new folder and then run the .msi installer within using these instructions.
