not very familiar with the windows version, but I think -D is supposed to point to the data directory which in your later info is listed as
data_directory = 'd:/me/data/PostgreSQL'

I was following the documentation:
    If you wish to keep the configuration files elsewhere than the data directory,
    the postgres -D command-line option or PGDATA environment variable must point
    to the directory containing the configuration files, and the data_directory
    parameter must be set in postgresql.conf (or on the command line) to show
    where the data directory is actually located. Notice that data_directory
    overrides -D and PGDATA for the location of the data directory,
     but not for the location of the configuration files.

Have a nice day,
  Eduard
