I get this error when I try to install HEM:

top level install dir -->C:\Program Files (x86)
Is admin account
fs=NTFS
.NET found
Extract: TestFirewall.exe... 100%
Extract: TestFirewall.exe.config... 100%
Antivirus Installed: False

postgresql status: 0
starting postgresql-8.4
postgresql error status: 1060
postgresql status: 0
postgres installdir: C:\Program Files (x86)\PSQLINSTALL

and this:

Connection to database failed: -->could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061)
Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

Ive disabled UAC, firewall, tried hosts file fix, tried 5 different versions of postgres.

What can I try next?

-1 delete the postgres user:

click on Start and go to Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt

* If you are on Vista, rightclick and choose "Run as Administrator".


A black box should appear. Type 'net user postgres /del'(without the quotes) and press enter.

The user is now deleted and you can install PostgreSQL.




-2 manually install SQL from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org)
Try 9.0.1 on port 5432
Try 8.2.x on port 5433
Which error do you get when you manually install them??
Was your hosts file filled with other info, since you said you had to fix it?

Is you secondary login running? A Windows service, read: FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Can't Connect / Failed to Start PostgreSQL (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/91/Can%27tConnect%7B47%7DFailedToStartPostgreSQL)

Did you really try a 8.2 version?
Did you try to install on a different partition like D:?

i dunno if it is helpfull, but i had the same problem the OP has. I did the hostfix but had still same error message. now ive tried the manual installation of sql 9.0.1 and what can i say, it works now. :)

Ive tried : postgresql-8.2.17-1
postgresql-8.3.7-1-windows
Postgres_8.3.9-v1.0.7 <-- Freezes in the middle of install
postgresql-8.3.12-1-windows
postgresql-9.0.1-1-windows_x64

And Ive tried the combo installer just installing postgres from that one. Tried em all with secondary logon started. I go in the command box and delete postgres user before every install I do and reboot. Tried different directory.
