Hi, I've just format my laptop with windows 7 and now I got an issue when I try to reinstall HM using the combo installer. Everyting goes well until the end and I got this pop-up "Sorry, could not install PostgreSQL".

I've turned off UAC and tried to run it as administrator but I always got the same error occuring at the end.

I've search in the FAQ but I still don't understand what is the problem.

Can someone help me out please ?

manually download and install SQL 8.4.4 from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org)
If that won't install try 8.3.11 on port 5433

Ok I have to say that your installer pisses me off. I never have tilt as hard as I do when I'm trying to install HM. Why cannot it be that simple and just work when I try to do it with the combo installer ? I just can't get it.

After I almost broke my mouse, it worked (using the manual way, not the combo installer) but then hm started to miss lots of hhs when I play and I tried to reinstalled it. I tried every single version of HM but still had the same issue with all of them (missing hands). I tried to uninstall both HM and postgresql. As I'm trying to reinstall both using the combo installer, I got the same issue as my first post in this thread. Right now, I'm trying to install manually postgresql 8.3.11 on port 5433 and nothing's working. I got this error message :

"Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly
Error reading file C:/Program Files (x86)/PostgreSQL/8.3/data/postgresql.conf"

Don't get me wrong, I love your software but damn I hate the way it's complicated installing it. Can some one help me out please.

Which Operating System, Firewall, and Anti-Virus are you using?




try this:

Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Stop Service

Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Start Service

If that doesnt help delete the \postgresql\8.x\data\postmaster.pid file, if you see it. And reboot.
