Hi,
I bought a brand new computer, running under Microsoft Windows 7 64 bit.
I am trying to install Holdemmanager after downloading the complete setup, getting an error message that states:
Sorry, could not install postgressql.
I even uninstalled it from the control panel and get another set of downloading postgres even previous versions, but it did not work at all and it got stuck somewhere in the installation.
Even though it is very risky, I gambled in removing my anti virus and set the firewall off, it did not give any help. It's just putting me in a danger zone of viruses. What might be the reason why it will not install?
Can I ask anybody who share same sentiments with same and had solved the problem.
What must I do for it to install?
Thanks!
Cannot Install PostgreSql error message
Janesprant,
Thank you for dropping by! Here's my idea with regards to your problem:
Using a network card will block any SQL to install even if you disable your firewall. If you are using a network card, uninstall and remove it from your system. If you are not using any network card, try the steps below to fix the problem:
1. Uninstall PostgreSQL (it will appear on the Control Panel after initial installing process). Navigate your Control Panel, Go to Programs and Uninstall from there.
2. Run the Command Prompt by going to Start menu – then Programs – and right click the Command Prompt icon – choose run as administrator.
3. On the Command Prompt, locate the folder location of PostgreSQL. After that, type this command: net user postgres /delete Â
4. Restart your computer.
5. Reinstall a different version of PostgreSQL.
Let me know if this helps you.
Cheers,
Linda.
