  1. cannot install postgres

    Tanuwijaya <tanuwijaya@gmail.com> — 2009-05-25T03:03:38Z

    Dear All,
    Once in a while I ever installed the old progreSQL, but then I uninstalled it.
    Now, I want to install it again, but always asked for a password, when I enter the
    password it will said that the password is wrong. 
    What should I do so I can install it again?
    
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Tanuwijaya,
        I can understand your frustrations especially as a novice. But if you
    want people to be able to help you please be precise by telling:
    - on which operating system and which version are you installing
    - which version of postgresql are you installing
    - at which stage are you asked to enter password
    etc

    I know that pg creates an user during installation, but I don't know if this
    user is removed after uninstall. If he still exists try to remember/reset
    his password and try re-install again using this password

  4. Fwd: cannot install postgres

    Pushpendra Singh Thakur <thakur@corexprts.com> — 2009-05-27T02:51:53Z

    In windows XP its eazy to do. If you think the previous service user for
    PostgreSQL is still exists goto the Administrative Tools --> Computer
    Management --> Local User & Groups. Here you will get the Postgres Account
    (Postgresql service account). Simply delete that.
    I hope this will solve your problem.

  5. Re: cannot install postgres

    Dear Ibrahim,
    Thank you very much for telling it.
    And sorry for not giving a detail information, I will do it
    in my next question.
    Currently I have downloaded the last stable version (8.3.7) 
    and install it on my XP home. Everything seems fine.
    The last installer I use was Oneclick installer from EnterpriseDb.
    
    I thought the installer problem has been solved.
    Thanks.
