I have new hard disk, I installed HM without problems, but I´m trying to install postgres, but is imposible.


windows Xp home
files format NTFS

postgres dowloaded from
http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/postgresql.zip

every time the result is an error "Internal account lookup failure"

I create the user manualy, reset the Pc.
I try to install postgres, but the error now is "User postgres could not be created: the user account already exists!".

I long time ago had the same problem, and the support of your page helpme and acomplish the installation, is posible to contact with me,please? In this time I was helped by fabio in a teamviewer session, in this post.

Just choose another user than "postgres" during the installation, "holdemmanager" for example.

The same error appear in the screen, "Internal account lookup failure"

Is in that filed when I have to type holdmanager?

I havent seen a solution for this account lookup error yet but anyone that did solve it simply tried a different version of postgreSQL so try this version http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.3.4/win32/ and if that dosent work try version 8.2

If that dosent work maybe contact the guys on the PostgreSQL forum as theyd have more experience and might be able to find a solution
