PostgreSQL Setup Instructions

---

VISTA USERS: You must First go to Windows Control Panel - Users and disable User Access Control before you will be able to install PostgreSQL

1) Download Setup Package from Postgres Download

2) Unzip the contents of the zip file on to your desktop and then double click on postgresql-8.3.msi to begin the installation.

If you get an error message here saying that the pacage was corrupt or something similar then you probably didn't unzip the files to your desktop and instead you are trying to install it right from the zip file which will not work

3)



Click "Start"

4) Click on 'Next' on the first screen which tells you to close down all of your other applications and then again on the Installation Notes screen. Click Next one more time on the Installation Options screen leaving every entry as default.

5)



Leave the domain as whatever it listed there and select an Account Password here and verify it. We recommend you use postgrespass

If you get an error message here saying that the account could not be created try changing the account name to postgresuser

6)



Click Yes

7)



Click No

8)



enter in postgrespass as the password. This is the password that Holdem Manager will use to access your database.

9) Click next on all of the remaining screens accepting the defaults.

You have now successfully installed PostgreSQL!

If you get an error message here saying that access was denied and you are running Vista then you need to disable User Access Control in Windows Control Panel - Users
