Re: postgres 3.7 unexpected closing of connections

I did a fresh installation after deleting every reference to postgres
and pgAdmin in the registry and removing the relevant folders.
It looks as if the installation fails when loading additional modules.
I also think host should be localhost at this stage.

Here is a portion of the log that shows a definite error:
***********************************************************************************************************
