Secondary logon is in Automatic. I tried to follow every steps in the FAQs, but I cannot install postgres.

I´m trying to do this: http://forums.holdemmanager.com/general-support/150771-solved-postgresql-database-cluster-initialisation-failed.html

but I don´t understand what I have to do here:
- copy postgresql-8.4.9-1-windows.exe to C:\
- runas /user:postgres cmd.exe -> cd \ -> postgresql-8.4.9-1-windows.exe -> installed successfully without errors. Checked data folder and confirmed files created successfully.

- runas /user:postgres cmd.exe -> cd \ -> postgresql-8.4.9-1-windows.exe -> installed successfully without errors. Checked data folder and confirmed files created successfully.

This means, the setup file needs to be placed directly in c:\

Open up command prompt, right-clicking it and running it as admin.

This is found in Start - Programs - Accessories, or hold Window key + R to open the Run window and type cmd, you can right-click and run it as admin. Search for cmd will also get you there.

Then type in that /user .... string through windows.exe

Can we schedule a Teamviewer session? I tried literally everything in the last 48h and I need HEM...

[nunoricardovaz]

I think it´s solved. At least I managed to install HEM.

Did HEM open and the reports show? Did you get any messages that Postgres couldn't connect?

No, no problems until now. This worked for me: http://forums.holdemmanager.com/general-support/150771-solved-postgresql-database-cluster-initialisation-failed.html

Thanks!
