Hi,

I've been trying to install the holdem manager free trial off and on for months. The problem is loading postseql. I have gotten all the way through the checklist to install. Just before install is complete, a box tells me there is a problem with temporary destination folder, and the proceeds to uninstall itself.
I have a laptop with Vista. I've unchecked user accounts control. I don't know if I am unzipping like I'm supose to because I'm not sure what that means.

Ty for any help

Can you try to download a postgreSQL from here: http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/

I downloaded a one click installer from the site you posted but got stuck on the password. I used the password I used on the service account during set up per instructions: postgrespass - but the new pw window told me it didn't match.

one more thing: the new pw window lists my service account as (postgres) but during my original setup I had to use (postgresuser) because the first did not work. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Uninstall postgreSQL and delete the folder in Program Files (or the equivalent in Vista).

Can you try it: http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp/binary/v8.3.5/win32/postgresql-8.3.5-1.zip

Got all the way to install and just before it was complete rec'd: "Error
Failed to create temporary folder", just like before. There is something I'm missing I guess. I wonder if it would help if I had another operating system. I've hated Vista since I got it.
