botched installation

[AndyT]

I ran the installation with some other programs running and the installer tanked in the middle of installing PostgreSQL. Then I tried to open the exe of PT again and windows would hang at shut down so i did a hard reset. Now the uninstaller wont unistall PT and PT doesnt appear in the Change a program area of windows. Any one know how to fix this?

The reason im reinstalling is my system crashed. I had to completely restore my C drive from an OS backup. I ended up losing the PostGre credentials from my previous installation because it was in a text document on my desktop and is was deleted. Do I need that? How do I start from scratch with a new database?

As far as PokerTracker goes you should be able to just run the installer again - there is no need to uninstall.

If you have a partial installation of PostgreSQL you'll probably need to fully uninstall it before you can re-install. Follow the appropriate guide here. We currently recommend v9.0.

my problem now is after installing and hitting open PT it just hangs. I see the process in the processes but it wont respond or close when i hit end process. the few times i've gotten it to work it says unable to create database. PostgreSQL does not appear in installed programs.......

The dialog box finally appeared and I get this error:


Unable to create PostgreSQL database: PT4 DB
Reason: Unable to login to database (template1). Reason: could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "???" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

trying to install postgre manually now. and it doesn't appear either....grr

[AndyT]

oh now the installer worked. lets see if i can get it to work now

[AndyT]

its odd that PT hangs like this and is so slow to bring up the initial prompt. I have an SSD, seems like it should be faster. ive been waiting 5 minutes and no prompt yet....

finally. says postgre 9.2 and higher are not supported. damn. well here goes.
