Message: [QUOTE="dmorris68, post: 810456, member: 40397"] I tried to install PT3 beta 12 last night and the PostgreSQL install fails. I'm running Vista Ultimate SP1 with full admin rights and UAC disabled, so there shouldn't be a problem. I even tried manually installing the PostgreSQL installer supplied with PT3, and get the same result. It was late and I didn't have time to troubleshoot, I'll probably go to PostgreSQL's site and try a manual download and install. I'm a bit perturbed that PT3 requires a full installation of a local PostgreSQL server (that gets installed as a Windows service), rather than an embedded DB. As a software developer myself, I consider that a lot to drop on a user's PC for simply tracking poker data -- there are a lot of smaller footprint solutions they could have used. The next version of PokerEV is supposed to give PT3 a run for its money, with supposedly more features and a HUD, and a bit cheaper too -- PT3 went up to $90, while the new PokerEV is supposed to cost around $55 for one game or $75 for all games, IIRC. It will also import from your Poker Tracker database. I'm going to hold off on buying anything until the new PokerEV is released and I can try it. It was supposed to be released last week but apparently ran into some delays, according to the thread on 2+2 (the PokerEV website has a link to the 2+2 thread describing the new features, with screenshots). In fact I'm considering jumping into this market myself, perhaps developing and releasing a free open-source version supported by donations. I'd likely develop it in Java so that it could run on Windows, Mac, or *nix with equal ease. I'm not a big fan of .NET myself... [/QUOTE]
