For the steps below we will be working exclusively in the command line to research if the installation process was completed and the postgres service account was installed.
Please take these steps:
- In the Windows Start menu search for CMD. Run CMD.exe - this will open the Command Line window.
- Type net user postgres and click Return.
If you get an error message that says "The user name could not be found" then this means the postgres service account was not installed.
Run the PostgreSQL 9.3 installer again, pay close attention to every step - look for any error messages and note the exact message that appears if so. When the installer is completed, run CMD once again and type in
net user postgres. This time you should see a message that confirms the service account has been installed. If you do not get this confirmation, you will have to create a support ticket on our website by selecting
Support > Contact Us
so we can provide custom one-on-one help.
