I've tried installing with Postgres and get this window error each time.

Make sure that you right click the installation file and run it as an administrator.

Best regards,

I'm logged on as the owner. What's the difference? I don't have any such "administrator" log on. There is no password for windows or my computer when I turn it on.

You've probably had PostgreSQL installed on your computer before and uninstalled it. Delete the C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL directory, and then open a command prompt (Start -> Run, "cmd" <enter>), then enter "net user postgres /delete". Start PT3 and let it install PostgreSQL. It should work this time with no problems.

Yes, I did. I will try these suggestions and let you know. Thanks for the tip.

Now I sequentially get these 3 error windows.

BTW, I did the previous steps and was told the command executed successfully.

1st one: "Can't open file 'C:\Program Files\Poker Tracker3/PokerTracker.log' (error 5: access is denied.)"
2nd: Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable."
3: Fatal Error. PT can't operated w/o PostgreSQL

Make sure you are running PT3 as admin.

This again then. And I'm still getting the first error I posted.
