Davinci Resolve on Windows 7 install Nightmare
I have mostly Macs at my office, but due to the fact they have not updated there Pro line in a while we decided to build a really nice graphic machine. I use Davinci Resolve on a daily basis so this has been very disheartening. The issue is Postgres. Resolve will not connect to the database. Support at Blackmagic has been great and we have done all of the procedures to uninstall and then manually install postgres. None of these solutions are working. Is there anyone out there who has an actual instance of resolve functioning on a windows machine? Let me know if you need more tech specs. The main error on install is:
problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly
error reading file c:/Programfiles/postgressql/9.0/data/postgresql.conf

re-formatted my whole system. I then used cmd promtp to extract cab and install postgres before installing davinci.
This works for anyone else experiencing this issue.

I had no issues installing Resolve on Windows 7, 64 bit. In my experience when something like that happens it is either Antivirus/firewall or user’s permissions.

Get an iMac
Add Blackmagic Ultrastudio 3D
Wait for Thunderbolt PCIe box.
Add CUDA card.
Done.

I have 5 imacs and 3 mac pros in our studio. The asus pc we just built rips the current mac pro 12 core to shreds. We have 12 cores over clocked to 4.2 ghz/ 2 gtx580 cards with 3gb ddr5,10,000 rpm raid 0 hardrive for scratch and 512 ssd for apps. We have corsair liquid cooling and 64 gigs of ram. This system runs the sandy bridge e i7 chipset which is not available on mac yet. It costs about half the price as mac, and as a business this makes a lot of sense.

I hope you’re not holding your breath, or you’re going to need resuscitation.

I totally agree about the windows box and power. For building a speedy edit bay. You can get a monster machine for way less then a mac. Then use that extra $ on storage. Plus your not limited to the 4 pCI slots.
However with Resolve I still have not had any luck on windows. Right now it gives me error’s saying it does not even see the CUDA acceleration. Thinking serious about putting it on linux instead. -
Having the same problems as you. Any chance you could post how to extract the postgres prior to the install?
Thanks

If you email Black Magic they will send you the exact instructions on how to do this. I would send you the one they sent me but I deleted this. HOpe this helps.. Luck
