The PostgreSQL 9.5.4-1 bundled with Resolve 14.3 and 15 Beta 1 Windows versions fails to install when the security policy for passwords is strict.
We have a domain wide security policy mandated by the studios where passwords are required to have certain length and structure. The installer supplies "DaVinci" as the password argument for the newly created "postgres" user to the postgresql-9.5.4-1-windows_x64.exe installer :
But "DaVinci" does not meet the minimal requirements and Windows 10 aborts creation of the "postgres" user. You can refer to the excerpt from the ResolveInstallLog.txt below.
We can not alter the domain password policy. The workaround is to temporarily disconnect from the domain, install Resolve, and join the domain again.
However, it would be easier if the default password were more complex, or if there was a way for end users to edit the installation script that contains the password string.
