Hand-reviewing the XML isn't fun :-( > creating template1 database in c:/temp/pgsql/data/base/1 ... initdb: could not execute command ""C:/temp/pgsql/bin/postgres.exe" --boot -x1 -F -d 5": No error That's a weird one. The procmon log confirms that "C:/temp/pgsql/bin/postgres.exe" does in fact exist, and it's run successfully elsewhere by the looks. I don't see "--boot" anywhere in the procmon log you sent, making me wonder if initdb ever actually got as far as the CreateProcess call and if it did, whether something's interefering with its ability to exec processes. That's wild stabbing in the dark, though, given that my brain just isn't up to properly reading and understanding thousands of lines of raw XML logs.
