Re: [pgadmin-support] 4th Try: pgadmin4 install, launch fail

Great, thanks Dave. I figured I would let it rest to allow you to
prioritize. 

As indicated before I am willing to do debug cases if it will help. The
one key fact is that since I started trying to launch a desktop
version, it has not been successful even once. Again, not a complaint,
just a data point; if I am the only one then it must be my problem
staring me in the face - wouldn't be the first time .....
