Re: [GENERAL] ERROR: Problem running post install step
This issue may have been resolved. I have yet to encounter any of those issues with SMB. For what it's worth, I just tried connecting to the share with AFP and running the installer.

How would that be done on a Mac?

I made this post 4 days ago and sadly, have yet to get a response: http://forums.enterprisedb.com/posts/list/4000.page Some searching found references to --enable_acledit 1 when installing to non-default paths. So maybe something like this: 32bit postgresql-9.0.18-1.windows.exe --enable_acledit 1 64bit postgresql-9.0.18-1.windows-x64.exe --enable_acledit 1 You may need to change the *.exe to match your exact situation. -- Adrian Klaver adrian.kla...@aklaver.com

Re: [GENERAL] ERROR: Problem running post install step
I am using the 9.0.18 version of the installer found here:http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgdownload#osx During the installation, everything stays as the default except the path to the data folder The databases will be used by poker tracker but they will be installed on the client machines. Not the server.
