Which version did it work on?

The error is pretty straight forward the server cannot be found at
localhost on port 5432, so:

1) Do you know that the server is actually up and running at the point
you run the scripts?

2) Is the server listening on port 5432?

3) Is Windows properly mapping localhost?
