Hi - I have XP Pro SP3 on two laptops
My secondary poker laptop is postgreSQL 8.3 ASCII & my primary poker laptop is 8.4 UTF
My secondary poker laptop is 6 months behind on HM updates
I want to 'upgrade' one to match the other
I am not worried about preserving the database or settings of postgreSQL/HM on the secondary - I know how to take that stuff from the primary
Q1] I can't see an FAQ on 'upgrading' postgreSQL so I suppose I must uninstall 8.3 & install 8.4 ?
Q2] If 'yes' to Q1.
Is it easier to just uninstall both postgreSQL & HM & use your new combo installer ?
Q3] If 'yes' to Q2.
I suppose I must remove ALL TRACE of the old postgreSQL (& maybe HM) to have a successful install - is revo + cccleaner enough for this ?
Thank you

FYI while checking the FAQs for install hints I noticed FAQ 71 "Reinstall PostgreSQL Preserving Old Database" contains (I think) out-of-date advice for Vista/7 users - written at the bottom of that FAQ:
"Note: UAC must be left off for PostgreSQL to work properly with Holdem Manager"
