Configuration problem

[APerfect10]

Go Start->Run "cmd" ->OK (without quotes)

Then copy and paste the following:

[codevwm]net localgroup "Administrators" "Service Users" /delete[/codevwm]

Then try installing...

Are you trying to install with a "service Account" other than "postgres"?

try checking your group memberships etc as detailed here: http://pginstaller.projects.postgresql. ... s.html#3.2

3.2) The installer claims the specified account is an administrator, but it isn't!

Most likely, the specified account is an administrator or power user, even though you aren't aware of it. The check used by the installer specifically checks for membership in the Administrators or Power Users group. Work your way backwards using Local Users and Groups - open the Administrators group, see who's a member. Then check any groups (domain or local) that are a member of the Administrators group, and any groups members of that group etc. PostgreSQL checks any level of nested groups. [/quote09h]

I have seen this but don't understand what I am supposed to do. How do I open the Administrtators Group for example? It is pretty obvious that I need to delete these "Service Users" but nobody seems to be able to tell me how!

I have wasted my entire day on this and now I cannot even access my PT2 stats either so apologies if I sound a little annoyed!

Can you post a screenshot of the window underneath that error message?

I'm not sure what you are asking for. I have posted screenshots already.

Do you mean this?

Open a command prompt and run "net user". Please post the screenshot of the results.

Open the command prompt and type:

[code9g9]net localgroup "Administrators"[/code9g9]

Please show me what is displayed.
