If you have Win7 (or Vista), consider the following:
1) PC name must be in English and "in one word" - requires reboot after changing.
2) The same for Windows user name. If not - create new Win user with EN name and reboot PC for this user when install Postgres. And he must have admin rights. After installation you can kill this new user - his mission is completed.
3) Secondary logon service must be set to "Autostart".
This 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.
4) UAC = OFF ( How to Disable and Turn Off UAC in Windows 7 « My Digital Life )
5) Disable firewall and antivirus when installing Postgres and HM. Or uninstall them at all.
6) All installations must run "as admin" (by right-click on file). And do them as first thing after PC reboot.
7) If you want to change install path for Postgres (or to set non-default folder for database cluster) - download "standalone" installation file from Download PostgreSQL | EnterpriseDB
8) If your Windows is not in English - you have to install Postgres not in default folder in Program_Files. Create new (example: c:\postgresql) first and select it when install.
9) Install Postgres and HM separarelly, one after one. As admin. If HM (when runs for the 1st time) says "no database" - simply create it via DBControlpanel.
10) If Postgres install fails - after uninstalling don't forget to kill windows user named "postgres":
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 /del
exactly as shown. You should get a confirmation if it was successful.
11) Run all pokerclients "as admin" too.
1) "PC"
2) "Admin"
3) Secondary logon service set to "autostart"
4) UAC set to "off"
5) winndows firewall disabled
6) runed as admin by right-click
7) Version 8.4.12 for WIN (Download PostgreSQL | EnterpriseDB)
8) c:\postgresql
9) separarelly (first postgresql)
and still error during postgres instalation:
"Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly
Error reading file c:/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf"
Thanks for help
Please try this version of postgresql: http://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/binary...l-8.2.23-1.zip
You need to unzip the file completely to a temporary folder and start the installation from there.
