This is correct. User 'myusername' running Install should have permissions to the whole D:\PostgreSQL (with subdirectories). User Postgres needs permissions only to D:\PostgreSQL\9.1\data. So, according to this: > fixing permissions on existing directory D:/PostgreSQL/9.1/data ... > initdb: could not change permissions of directory > "D:/PostgreSQL/9.1/data": Permission denied 'myusername' couldn't grant permissions on this folder to "postgres" user. > B) why can't it change the permissions? Try to look at Windows Event Log, m.b. there will be some useful info. M.b. you need to run installer local (not corporate active directory) account, still member of local Administrators group. Also, from your original posting: " I added the LOCAL\postgres user to the permissions on the D:\postgresql\9.1 directory and gave it full control" You don't have to create Postgres account "manually" and grant him privileges - installer does it for you. Could this be your problem?
