could not install postgreSQL

[rodelzki]

My OS is XP 2002 and I am trying to install the trial version of Holdem Manager. PostgreSQL cant complete installation and I'm getting message prompt "could not install postgreSQL".

Please advise.

Thanks

Is your XP uptodate (Service Pack 3, Windows Updates, Microsoft .net Framework 3.5)?
Microsoft scripting host activated?
Any 3rd party firewall?

Please try to download and install Postgresql 8.4 from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org).
If that fails try version 8.3.
If that fails too please come back with the error messages you receive.

Tried version 8.3 but got this error during installation.

"Problem running post-install step. Installation may not install correctly
Error reading file C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/datapostgresql.conf"

"wsh" is activated
Microsoft.Net 3.5 SP1
3rd Party Firewall disable

Which 3rd party firewall are you using? It may disturb the installation although its disabled.
