Can't instal postgreSQL

[Vodkas]

Hi,

I had that "Failed to establish connection" error. I tried to fix it using the solutions provided by this forum. None worked. I uninstaled HM and PostgreSQL using Revo Uninstaller Pro, I deleted the registry keys, I runned Evidence Remover on Revo, I also runned Glary utilities Pro to fix problems, clean registry etc etc etc...

I dowloaded HoldemManager 1st time installer and it can't install postgreSQL. There is allways this message at the end of the installation "Could not install postgreSQl"

I TRIED TO DO THIS 3 TIMES UNSUCESSFULLY!

I tried to instal HM and PgSQL in my other disk.

I also tried to install PT3 to make sure it wasn't a problem with HM installer, and it couldn't instal PgSQL neither.

I found this folder on C:\ "Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition". Since it's an SQL server too, do you think it might be a problem? I didn't delete it cause I really don't know what is it for.

I am using Windows XP (2002) SP3, AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+, 2.51 GHz, 2 GB RAM

Now I asking for some help :(

... or I will have to format my computer :(

Thank you.

HI,

Just to be sure we are all on the same page, i need to be sure you have tried to do the steps outlined below.

The secondary logon service is a standard windows service which is available on every windows computer and is required to be running to install PostgreSQL. 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.

Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt > Right-Click > Run As Administrator
In the window that appears please type the following and press enter:
net user postgres /delete

You should get a confirmation if it was successful.

If that doesn't work try installing this version of PostgreSQL http://rvgsoftware.fileburst.com/Postgres_8.3.9-v1.0.7.exe

If that installer also fails try this one it should work PostgreSQL: Choose a Mirror (http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp/binary/v8.2.17/win32/postgresql-8.2.17-1.zip)
