PokerTracker

I keep getting the same error message when trying to install both with SQL and without

"Failed to create temporary directory"

Are you running Microsoft Vista? If so, disable 'User Account Control' then install PokerTracker 3 [bw3z]with[/bw3z] PostgreSQL. You more than likely have already created user accounts during your failed installation so use the same username/password that you entered during previous installation attempts.

did the above, it gives me same message then it rolls back to the configure postgresql database- has all the info stored, i go to create and get the following error- "unable to create sql database: PT3BetaDB1- Reason- :Unable to login to database (template 1) Reason: could not connect to the server. Connection refused Is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?"

This is all on a new laptop, - the first time I downlaoded this, everything worked fine, but the next time i turned on the computer it seemed like it had restarted from a day before and PT was then missing from the computer and since then this is the same message i'm getting trying to install it.

the error comes up when PT is "initializing database cluster"

FWIW, I deleted the postgresql folder in program files and re-installed it and it worked out fine.

Thanks

Ok, please see [url=http://www.pokertracker3.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=790b6y]Attn: Vista Users Installing PostgreSQL 8.3[/urlb6y]. You will need to manually install PostgreSQL 8.2.6 or try the 8.3 Vista Fix that I have linked in that thread.

If you have any questions or need help manually installing, please post in the thread linked above.

Best regards,
