I installed pgAdmin 4 as part of the postgres installer for Windows. pgAdmin is now telling me there is a newer version (4.8, > 4.5 which I have). However, there is no built in upgrade functionality that I can see, and when I went to download and run the pgAdmin 4 installer to upgrade, it installed itself in the wrong place, leading to problems.
At first I tried installing it to the default location (C:\Program Files (x86)\pgAdmin 4\v4), which was incorrect, because the previous installation (from the postgres installer) went to a different location (C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\pgAdmin 4).
The second time, I pointed it to my existing install of postgres (C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\pgAdmin 4), but it installed itself to a subdirectory there instead (C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\pgAdmin 4\v4), rather than upgrading the existing installation, once again yielding to duplicated installations and problems arising from that. I assume if I go download the postgres installer, it will just reinstall version 4.5 of pgAdmin, though I have not tested this.
What is the correct method for upgrading a pgAdmin instance originally installed by the postgres Windows installer?
I think the best option is to go to Program and files -> Select PostgreSQL and "Uninstall".
Uninstaller will ask you if you want to uninstall the whole application or only individual components. Select individual components and then select pgAdmin.
This will uninstall pgAdmin from PostgreSQL directory.
From now, install the latest version pgAdmin only from official website which will install it into: C:\Program Files (x86)\pgAdmin 4\v4
If you Download the installer from here https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin/pgadmin4/v4.8/windows/
It should automatically install the 4.8 version in (C:\Program Files (x86)\pgAdmin 4\v4)
overwriting any existing 4.x version but keeping your server connections and setting.
In your case, the previous install was in a different place, therefore, you ended up having 2 versions.
What I suggest to you is go to control panel and uninstall from there all the versions you have. After that go to the above link, download and install the v4.8 in the default location. Every time there is a new version available just install it and let the installer install it on the default location.
Please note that your pgadmin server connections can be found in %appdata%\pgAdmin.
Note that I have personally just upgraded from v4.5 to v4.8 using this method (installing it in the default location) and it worked like a charm.
Not sure the best approach here.
If you update directly pgadmin from: https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin/pgadmin4/v4.10/windows/ the installation goes into
"C:\Program Files (x86)\pgAdmin 4\v4\runtime\pgAdmin4.exe"
Wheras the installation of the whole EnterpriseDB Installer from:
https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads is installed here:
"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\pgAdmin 4\bin\pgAdmin4.exe"
This looks like a wholly undesirable conflict? And leads to the problem identified by #Anomaly ?
To anyone finding this post (like me), before uninstalling your current pgAdmin 4, be aware that there may be limits on compatible versions based on your version of PostgreSQL. Following the instructions by Claudio Corchez, I removed my existing pgAdmin 4 and downloaded the latest 6.15. When I attempted to install it, the installer informed me that this version was not compatible with my version of PostgreSQL 10.3. So, I headed back and downloaded 4.30, which is now running. Unfortunately, it warns me each time I run it that a newer version is available. I just need to upgrade my entire PostgreSQL installation.
I had the same issue previously, and had to manually select the path.
Apparently now (v. 4.25) it auto-detects the path and updates correctly.
I had to download from the website, there was no update button embedded in pgAdmin itself
I have downloaded PostgreSQL 10.4 from its official website. While I am trying to install its exe as admin, it gives following prompt error. Same issue is observed when I am trying to install 9.6.9. Mys system is having all the admin rights and no firewall is set on my system.
I am getting an error while doing RAA V6.1 tool installation as The installation unable to verify username/password because the DB2INSTANCE environment variable is not set.
I have installed DB2 10 windows on my system.
Any one faced similar issue before?
I just faced this problem and no amount of solutions provided by IBM support site would work.
It got resolved when I uninstalled and reinstalled DB2 server on c:\IBM\SQLLIB.
Earlier it was installed on default path c:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB.
I think the space in the directory was messing few things up.
I've downloaded MongoDB Community Edition for Windows from mongodb.org (Windows 64-bit 2008 R2+), and website says that this version has SSL support (there are alerts on other versions that say they haven't). I'm running Windows 10. From what I've understood, SSL is build in by default from version 3.0, and I'm running with an Ubuntu server a mongod Community Edition instance (64bit, 3.0.10) installed from repository that use SSL.
When I try to run mongo.exe on local Windows machine with --ssl parameter it says:
Error parsing command line: unrecognised option '--ssl'
and others tools say that it doesn't support ssl.
I'm sure that on a previous setup I was running a 3.0.x mongo instance with SSL support on windows, I've tried also to install older versions, but nothing works.
My questions: are 3.0 and 3.2 community edition branches (still) compiled with SSL support on Windows, and if yes, why they doesn't work on my current setup? I'm sure they worked on previous one, may be a configuration problem?
Not sure why the Downloads page links to the Non SSL bundle. The Official Help page indicates the installer file name is mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-ssl-3.2.4-signed.msi which is not the same as the one downloaded via Downloads page (mongodb-win32-x86_64-3.2.4-signed.msi). Get the SSL enabled installer from https://www.mongodb.org/dl/win32/x86_64-2008plus-ssl
I'm trying to install JDeveloper 12c. When I run the installer it gives this error:
"Unsupported platform (unable to determine the startup directory location).
The Oracle Universal Installer failed. Exiting."
My platform is Windows 7 x64. I tried 32-bit, 64-bit and generic versions of the installer but the result doesn't change. Is there somebody facing the same problem? Or any idea to solve it?
By the way, I forgot to say that I've already tried to run the installer as Administrator but it didn't solve the problem.
Where is your installed located - make sure there is no space in the directory path.
Also if you are on windows use the windows installer and not the generic one.
