I have tried all 3 versions of postgresql. I've tried numerous times installing it via HEM. Always says the same. Can't read config file right near the end of installation of postgresql. So no install. If I transfer the files in data over from another computer it can't connect to server. Tried secondary server and that didn't work. And postgres server never installs.
Windows 7, no firewall, 64 bit.

Turn on secondary logon:
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.


Update Windows 7 to Service Pack 1 and reboot.

If you can't install SQL 8.3/8.4/9.0 with the installer from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org), use 8.2.20 instead.

Can you clarify This Procedure please. Is "secondary Service loging" a PostgreSQL feature? Thanks

"Windows secondary logon allows administrators to log on with a non-administrative account and still be able to perform administrative tasks (without logging off) by running trusted administrative programs in administrative contexts. In this scenario, system administrators require two user accounts: a regular account with basic privileges, and an administrative account (this can be a different administrative account for each administrator or a single administrative account shared among administrators). "


It's actually turned on by default on most computers when you install Windows.
PostgreSQL requires it to be on, to run the PostgreSQL server.

Thanks for your stock answer, but as my origianl post sais I tried the secondary and that didn't help. I am administrator and only administrator on my windows 7.
Now any solution as to why nothing gets created within the postgresql data file when I try to install?

Sorry: secondary login stock answer was for
@Rodney21a


@WSOPstar Did you try SQL 8.2? SQL 8.2 will never NOT run.
Which error do you get exactly during its installation?
-Error at the beginning
-Error at the end?
-Or if finishes but then the /data folder is empty?

Does it right near the very end of the install. It says it has trouble reading the config file (cause it's not created I think) and install fails. data file is there but empty.
Haven't tried 8.2

Try: PostgreSQL: Choose a Mirror (http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp/binary/v8.2.20/win32/postgresql-8.2.20-1.zip)

OK. I was able to install 8.2 and HEM talks with the DB and I was able to import some HH's. But when I try to restore my backup (500K player give or take DB size) I get "Could not find PostgreSQL installation directory". Any ideas?

Is this restore an issue because I am going from 8.4 or 9.0 down to 8.2? I tried the pgAdmin III method of restore but with the HEM backup done from within HEM instead of pgAdminIII, I think it's a format pgadmin doesn't recognize because it never highlights the OK button.

So my only option is to import thousands of HH's?

SQL 8.2 is not compatible with 8.4 (as 8.3 is not with 8.4, etc.)
So you can't restore a 8.4 .backup file into 8.2

You'll have to reimport the handhistories.

Something went wrong during the installation. You used the installer for the full version?

Are you using any 3rd party firewall, anti-spyware, adaware, tuning or registry cleaning programs? And if yes which ones?

I'm Using Zone Alarm and When I installed it I gave it Permission to install
How Do I fix this...

And Coulndt you guys run a video tutorial on how to install and tranfer to a window7 64 bit machine? If 99 percent of people who buy a new computer its going to be this type of machine and run into this type of problem. Judging from the Post On Two Plus Two and here its a persistant problem doing this..

just saying... Fire up Camtasia and record a tutorial...

Please uninstall it, deactivating firewalls is not enough.

After this reboot your computer and run the hm full installer again. Please make sure that Postgresql is disabled.

Why uninstall HM?

Just uninstall Zonealarm, reboot your computer, run the full HM installer again and during the installation please check that the postgresql installation option is disabled.
