This occurs halfway through the progress bar of the installation/unpacking process.

I do not have a local MySQL service running, only Postgres. I got around the previous non-empty empty database issue mentioned here by commenting out the table check on the lines mentioned in the installer.

After proceeding further, I have an error and the install.log contains the following (strange to see mentions of MySQL connections...):

Any guidance is much appreciated, I'm very excited to try out this slick looking game changer.

I dont think postgres is officially supported (just yet). The Samuel Georges has stated he needs testers for SQLite and Postgres, i'd try to find him in IRC in the US afternoon to see what you can do to help.
