IM causing postgreSQL CMS issue

Philippi_Child

Hey folks

It seems each time I use IM to install content I have to reinstall postgreSQL CMS it's like the IM uninstalls t postgreSQL CMS. I have no idea why this happens and I'd like some insight to this please.

Thanks!

What is happening in a bit more detail? Since you may have two or four (32 bit/64 bit, release/beta) versions of PostgreSQL in DIM it's likely that at elast one will be showing as not isntalled, but that doesn't mean you need to install it (you are limited to one version installed at any time).

Example: I'll use IM to install A piece of G3 clothing it installs via IM. I close IM and then open DS and that's when the box comes up stating the DS needs and valid postgreSQL CMS for DS to operate properly. However, when I go to my installed programs in Win10 postgreSQL CMS is there I have to uninstall the postgreSQL CMS via IM then have IM reinstall it before DS will operate as it should. I use W10, i7 six core, DS 4.10 and the 64-bit version of IM.

It's not a good diea to close DIM (or DS) and open DS (or DIM) as it's possible to have the second application see the version of PostgreSQL that iss till shutting down from the first and not tell it to stay open; however, just closing DS (and making sure it is closed in Task Manager) and then restarting should be all that's needed. There's no need to close one application to run the other, they can happily co-exist.
