Can't get PostgreSQL to work

[allthecookies]

I install everything fine up until it gets to the 'Creating User Account' portion of the Postgre install. An error message pops up that says "User postgres could not be created. The password is too short or not complex enough" and then it shuts down and uninstalls.

I had the same problem. When you get to the screen where it has the default passwords of "svcpass" and "dbpass", change them to something more complicated. I had to try three times and eventually ended up using a password that was 11 characters long, and had letters, numbers, and non-alphanumeric characters (like &,*,@).

It's a pain that it takes so long to find out that the password isn't good enough, but I suppose that's a PostgreSQL problem rather than something PT can control.
