Cant uninstall and reinstall postgresql 8.4.
I have tried for about 6 hours now to get it working again.
There was a problem with the database and I decided it best to reinstall the program.
Im on W7 64, I used revo uninstaller.
I also manually deleted the user files 'postgres' and postgres files in the program files folder.
i used command promt with 'net user postgres /delete'
when i try to re-install 8.4 i get an error message saying it was unsuccessful.
I then have to uninstall what was installed that time and i tried different versions.
postgres 9.0/9.1/8.39 all had errors installing.
Also i can see after each failed install I get 'postgres.exe' files in process explorer and one of them is using 50% CPU.
there has to be something im missing. If i uninstalled the program surely when its installed again it would not be using 50% CPU, before it was barely using 3%.
