I've just purchased the combo holdem/omaha manager software but I can't seem to install..
My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium
I got the error msg: 'Sorry, could not install PostgreSQL'
In the installer it says; setup not completed successfully and the info has details saying Connection to database failed: connection refused
Is the server running on host '127.0.0.1' and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
<--error
1
BUT, a HEM icon does appear when i close the installer and i get the Postgres login page but fails to establish connection to 127.. and i cant connect to postgreSQL
Note: i used the trial version about 6months ago which i had working for 15 days then i uninstalled and tried removing all the software(maybe something was left?)
Appreciate your help

You may already have a running postgresql service from the trial installation. Please check it in the windows services.

There is no postgresql service running in windows services.
A postgresql user account has appeared when I start my computer though.

Some new info..
I installed HEM without postgresql succesfully
Then i tried installing postgresql alone but i got the error message saying sorry could not install postgresql.
I can open HEM with the Icon, but im still getting the ''Failed to establish a connection to 127.0.0.1' message, then it takes me to database control panel and connect to postgresql box but it wont connect.
I noticed that I already have PostgreSQL in my program files (x86) folder which remained there after i tried uninstalling it (unistall failed previously)

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.

download SQL 9.0.1 and 8.2.x from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org)
Try to install both. Which errors do you get when using the installer from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org?)

Hi, before you responded I was trying different things and i managed to delete all traces of postgres and installed version 8.3 from postgresql-8.3.msi zip that i found in one of the FAQ's...and my HEM is now working.
Would you suggest I install the latest version of postgreSQL ?
