Hi,

First of all i apologize for my english....i'm french.

I buy PT4 any stakes and i have problems installing postgreSQL and i need help.

I've download and installed Version 9.0.13 of postgrSQL (win86-32). No modification in the setup.

I enter the password "dbpass" twice.Port:5432 and default locale.

At the end of the setup this message appears "problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly.The database cluster initialisation failed."

When i run PT4 i have this message "unable to login to database (Postgres) - reason:could not connect to server:connection refused(0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "???" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

Before buying PT4 definitively, i had PT3 and PT4 trial version. I've uninstaled both of them.

I've windows 8.

Thank you four your help

Trenchtown

Firstly, there is no need to uninstall anything before updating to a new version of PokerTracker, and it can cause complications.
Did you also uninstall PostgreSQL? If so, follow the guides here to do a full uninstall and reinstall.

Otherwise..
That error means the installation did not complete properly. Please try uninstalling and reinstalling PostgreSQL to a new folder on the root of your C drive (such as "C:\PostgreSQL") and that may fix things for you. (taken from this thread)
