Hello,

When I am trying to install postgressql, an error message appears on the screen on the final stage of the installation that "user postgres could not be created. the user account already exists. "

Can you please help me on how to solve this problem?

Thank you.

lick on Start and go to Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt

* If you are on Vista, rightclick and choose "Run as Administrator".


A black DOS box should appear. Type 'net user postgres /del' (without the quotes) and press enter.

The user is now deleted and you can reinstall PostgreSQL.
