Hello!

When I must install Holdem manager so in the end of the installation it comes up "Sorry, Could not install PostfreSQL"

What do I do?

Which Operating System, Firewall, and Anti-Virus are you using?

Make sure windows is fully updated and change your Windows Control Panel > Regional Settings Format to English (USA).

Many of those free Norton, Mcaffee, Comodo, Zonealarm, etc, 'internet security' bundles will not work well with holdem manager.

Please do the following steps, so we can get your computer to a state that we know will work with Holdem Manager:

1) Uninstall any 3rd party security software bundles.
2) Reboot your computer
3) Please install the latest version: http://rvgsoftware.fileburst.com/HmBetaUpdate.exe
4) Enable Windows Firewall's recommended settings through your Control Panel.
5) Install Microsoft Security Essentials for antivirus/malware protection and update it - http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/


1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) Install PostgreSQL 8.3.9 from this link - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/Postgres_8.3.9-v1.0.7.exe

Try installing it to a new path such as C:\PostgreQL instead of the default path.

If the installer above fails, try again with this one:

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) run the command - start > programs > accessories > command prompt > right-click > run as administrator

net user postgres /delete
4) reboot.
5) Download and UnZip this file to a new folder. http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/postgresql-8.2.15-1.zip
6) Then run the postgresql-8.2.msi file and follow these instructions - http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/70/Reinstall+PostgreSQL

Okay thanks!

I will try this later today.
I use Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
And of Nod32 (antivirus trail)

What do you mean that the computer needs to be updated? That I must look in the updates for Windows, and reinstall all?

thanks!

He means that you should run "Windows update" and install all important updates.

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.



It seems ALL your PostgreSQL install issues are caused by the secondary logon not running.
The password during the PostgreSQL 8.2 install is: postgrespass.
But when the secondary logon is running, I would just try to install SQL 8.4 (or 9.0) again.
