I would like to start to say that i have installed and reinstalled postgres like 10 times without any problems. This time I tried to install postgres with HM on my old computer and it just says "Cannot install postgres".

Then I went to manually install postgres (the way im used to install it) and first tried 8.3 and that didnt work and neither did 8.4. The problem I am getting is that it says; "Error running C:\Documents and settings\......\getlocales.exe. Cannot find pathway.

What do i dó!?

Never seen that one before, basically nothing on google about it either, have you tried downloading something else to the same folder and try installing that to see if its a problem with the PC.

Also double check the full file downloaded, check the size of the download and compare it with what you downloaded or try moving it to a different location like the desktop and see if that makes a difference.

Well now its a different download thing. Before when u downloaded the postgres you got a zip-package and u needed to extract the files and then run the msi-file. Now its different.

I have downloaded 4 different files so that shouldnt matter.

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.

net user postgres /delete
4) reboot.
5) Install PostgreSQL 8.3.9 from this link - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/Postgres_8.3.9-v1.0.7.exe


If that doesn't work, try this one:

Hey, I think u missunderstood me. I cannot install postgres, that is the problem. Therefore I cannot reinstall it.

I also am the only user (and adminstrator) of my windows XP.

There must be something wrong with your windows installation.

You should look for further help in a postgresql community (PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org)) or probably reinstall your windows system.

Yes, it was in one of the sets of instructions I posted. Postgresql.zip is the one we have distributed for years.

Make sure all failed installations are uninstalled, and make sure you delete the postgres user.

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) run the command - start > programs > accessories > command prompt > right-click > run as administrator

net user postgres /delete
4) reboot.
5) Download and UnZip this file to a new folder. http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/postgresql.zip
6) Then run the postgresql-8.3.msi file and follow these instructions - FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Reinstall PostgreSQL (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/70/Reinstall+PostgreSQL)

Just wanted to let you know that the old installer worked fine.
