PgAdmin 4 not working in Windows 10

Hi,

I have recently installed the new Postgres 9.6 RC1, having previously used 9.2, 9.4, and 9.5 extensively for all our business activities.

As a test, I performed a pg_upgrade to create a new copy of several databases on 9.6 RC1. All fine.

However PgAdmin 4 always crashed with the usual ‘PgAdmin stopped working’ message that it has always been prone to – but this time whenever I try to open ANY database.

I spent several hours installed Python in case it needed that to run correctly, and this seemed to improve things – it now crashes only every 10 minutes or so. But now it’s gone back to crashing whenever I open a database again.

So Question 1: Where is the pg_admin log now being stored if anywhere – if not, where can I set its path so I can see what’s happening?

Question 2 – why doesn’t pgAdmin 4 for windows 10 work?

Since we use the Express for Windows Desktop version of Visual Studio 2015, the path to the debugger seems unavailable – have you any suggestions how to find out what is going wrong?

I am happy to return to 9.5 for the moment, but I was really looking forward to using the new interface, and implementing it for all our users across the country.

Sadly,

Nigel
