I cant get the file to fully complete setup, always stops at the postgres part. Then when i run i get the " The following error occurred when trying to open the database: Failed to establish a connection to '127.0.0.1'

Any help on getting the download to fully instal+ fix the postgres login part ?

Use the 93 mb full installer @ http://www.holdemmanager.com/Downloads/Holdem_Manager_Setup.exe
to only install HoldemManager.... don't install PostgreSQL.

Make sure you secondary logon is running:
The secondary logon service is a standard windows service which is available on every windows computer. In the latest versions it is not started automatically. You need to start it via control panel > administrative tools > services. Starting it once should insure it works in the future also.

Then manually install PostgreSQL from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org).
Use version 8.4.x.
Password during installation is: postgrespass
If it doesn't accept that password, delete the postgres user first:

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 /delete' (without the quotes) and press enter.

The user is now deleted and you can (re)install PostgreSQL.
