Thats when I get the error message.
Any ideas how I proceed?
Appreciate it!
Yes, if you already have PostgreSQL 8.4 installed by HM2 then PT4 would be trying to use that service, but it would not know the password. I believe the default password that HM2 used was 'postgrespass'.
However, PostgreSQL 8.4 is very old now (it reached its end-of-life in 2014) and that will not work well with current PT4 versions.
I suggest that you follow the directions in my previous reply to download and install PostgreSQL version 12.18.
Since your existing PostgreSQL version will already be using port 5432 I suggest that you use port 5433 instead.
Enter 'dbpass' for the password and turn off Stack Builder.
Once that is installed run PT4 and enter the port number and password that you set during the PostgreSQL installation and that should work fine.
