PostgreSQL

[MAA]

Hi,

I tried to install PostgreSQL on my computer using http://www.pokertracker.com/pgsqlinstall.html and pretty much leave everything default.

But when installing I had an error message sayinig that postgre account could not be created: acces denied.

I am a noob in informaic so I would be glad if someone could help me.

Thanks

What sort of account do you have in Windows (control panel/user accounts)- are you an administrator?

Frankly speaking I don't know I am the owner of the computer and I run Vista.

Is this database working with vista.

Thanks

Go into start menu/control panel/ user accounts and you will see your username, underneath will be written the "type" of user that you are. It may be administrator, or it might be limited in some form- if it is then the "access denied" that you mention in your OP is consistent with that. I would also consider posting this in the Postgres forum at Poker Tracker as well.

On Vista, you must disable UAC to successfully install PostgreSQL. Afterwards you can re-enable UAC if you like with no ill effects, but it must be off for installation

Thanks for your help
