I got claude max ai to help me solve this matter
"I've identified the issue - there's improper PowerShell code in your postgresql.conf file that's preventing PostgreSQL from starting. This happened when you tried to install pgvector.
Follow these steps to fix the problem:
Open a command prompt as Administrator
Run: notepad "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\17\data\postgresql.conf"
Find and delete these lines (around line 769)
param($match)
$libraries = $match.Groups[1].Value
if ([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($libraries)) {
return "shared_preload_libraries = 'vector'"
} else {
return "shared_preload_libraries = '$libraries,vector'"
}
Add this line in place of the deleted code:
shared_preload_libraries = 'vector' # (change requires restart)
Save the file and close Notepad
Start the PostgreSQL service:
Using the command: net start postgresql-x64-17
Or alternatively, restart the computer
This will fix the syntax errors in your configuration file and properly enable pgvector.
