"Failed to create temporary directory"

Postby da_fulv » Wed Apr 02, 2008 2:51 am

No matter what I do, when I try to install the PostgreSQL part, i get this same message about 3/4 through. Because of this, I cannot get PT3 to work and its seems PostgreSQL is not even installed because of this.

Is this on Windows XP? Go Start->Run, 'msconfig' OK.

Under the 'Boot' tab, select 'Safe boot' and 'Network'. Apply->OK.

Restart your computer and it will boot up into safe mode. Open 'My Computer' and browse to and delete your main PostgreSQL directory. Typically something like C:\\Program\\PostgreSQL

Boot back into Normal mode by repeating the above steps but this time unchecking 'Safe boot'.

Once back in safe mode, go Start->Run 'cmd' OK. Type 'net user postgres /delete'.

Then proceed with installing PostgreSQL. Make sure that you are logged into Windows under an administrators account.

If you are still having trouble after doing the above, please contact me via the [url=http://www.pokertracker3.com/support/3ns]Support system[/url3ns] and schedule a remote assistance session.
