I am trying to install PostgreSQL with the combo installer, but it just says "Sorry, could not install PostgreSQL". What is the problem?

Which Operating System, Firewall, and Anti-Virus are you using? Is microsoft dotnet framework 3.5 installed?


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) Install PostgreSQL 8.3.9 from this link - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/Postgres_8.3.9-v1.0.7.exe


If that one fails, try this:

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)

Do you have the latest Windows Service Pack installed?
Install this manually:

Download details: Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en)

and

Then try the SQL 8.3 again (manually download it from postgresql.org).
Try 8.2.16 if 8.3.10 doesn't work.
