Hi!

I am installing HEM and PostgreSQL on a new PC. Here is what I have experienced:

I tried to use the combined HEM/SQL installer, but got an error message saying SQL could not be installed. So I downloaded the 8.4.4 one click installer for SQL. When deciding on a password for SQL, it says "wrong password", which is weird as I haven't set a password previously.

When I tried with version 8.2.17 instead, the same thing happened. After uninstalling HEM, the problem pesists.

The installer uses postgrespass as password.

To delete the user/password open a command box (as Administrator!) and type
net user postgres /delete

After successfull completion you can start the postgresql installation again.
