During install I receive the error "password does not meet complexity requirements"

This error message is displayed if the server/workstation you are installing on has password complexity enabled. During the PostgreSQL installation a new user is created called "postgre" and a password of "anything".

To resolve this issue you will need to modify SETUPA.BAT in 'PostgreSQL\server' folder. Therefore, you will need to copy this folder to your local hard drive to edit it. On the last line of the file simply modify the SERVICEACCOUNT and SERVICEPASSWORD arguments to meet the requirements of you network/computer and then run this batch file. PostgreSQL should then successfully install.

Now that you have PostgreSQL successfully installed and configured simply run the SchoolNET installer again and DO NOT choose to install PostgreSQL (as you have already done so). Then continue the installation.
