Enable Procedural Languages

[Matress]

Hi.
I am trying to install postgre.
At step 8 i Get an extra unmentioned step.
"Enable Procedural Languages"..
I have checked for a tmp postgres folder
I have installed the latest microsoft .net


no joy. Any ideas??

head is melted

Are you installing this version http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=176

If so can you post a screenshot of that error please

Hi.
Yes That is the Installation guide I followed.
I can't take a screenshot (in work at moment)
PROBLEM:
Between step 10 and 11 on your installation FAQ page I get two additional steps.


First, a "Enable Procedural Languages" window pops up. The default choice (among eight or so choices) is:
[x]PL/pgsql.

That leads to a "Enable Contrib Modules" window. It has maybe twenty choices. The default choice is:
[x]adminpack.

This then completes the installation process. Your 11th step never comes up.

WHAT I HAVE TRIED
I have tried looking for a temp folder - http://www.nabble.com/BUG--3980:-Can-not-Install-PostgreSQL---error-at-the-end-of-installation-td15635482.html

What Should I do next?
The only thread I found where a poster resolved this problem lead to here:

This did not work
I will download the Latest C++ when i get home.

But any other Ideas?
Should I start installing older versions of postgre?


Cheers.

I seen this Yesterday doing a Teamviewer session and i think its related to the microsoft update bug, try the following.

Just ignore those errors and when its finished follow these instructions:

Hi, Microsoft released a patch last night that has caused some issues with
the postgresql service for some people on Vista. The following steps seem to
get around this problem:

1: Go to "C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc" and open the "hosts" file with
notepad

It might look something like this:
**************************************************
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

::1 localhost
************************************************** ****

2: Enter "127.0.0.1 localhost" (without the quotes) at the bottom of the
file
4: Save the file
5: Restart your computer


This worked for me Yesterday
