RE: Having issues installing HM2 on new laptop

[skoolbuly]

Hi,

I'm going through the process of installing HM2 on my new laptop. But this pops up. I can neither use the postgres that is installed on my computer or download a new one following HM2.

How can I resolve the issue.

Thanks,

Windows 10?

Make sure windows is fully updated until 'No New Important Updates are Found' (this may require multiple restarts and multiple 'check for updates'), including Internet Explorer (even if you use a different web browser).

Uninstall PostgreSQL & try the following steps:

1) Run cmd.exe as Admin (Start > Search 'cmd' > Right-Click > Run As Admin)
2) in CMD window run (type the code then hit Enter key) following command:

 net user postgres /del

3) Reboot PC
4) after reboot open cmd.exe again & run following commands:

 net user postgres postgrespass /add
 net localgroup Administrators postgres /add
 net localgroup Users postgres /delete
 runas /user:postgres cmd.exe

When it asks about password please input postgrespass & don`t worry if you don`t see any new symbols\inputs in cmd window. If you did all steps right then you should get new cmd window for postgres user.

5) Download PostgreSQL installer (http://get.enterprisedb.com/postgres...-1-windows.exe) & move (copy/paste) it from the \Downloads folder to C:\
6) in new cmd window for postgres user run following commands:

 cd c:\
 start postgresql-8.4.22-1-windows.exe
