Many thanks to Igor
The hint with the "bitrock" installer log helped me to find the problem.
It was an incorrect path setting (double backslash). The UI-Installer
might correct these settings.

Subject: Unattended Installation
Hello
I am using Postgres 9.3.3.1 on Windows (32-Bit Windows 7 Professional).
I use the installer executable postgresql-9.3.3-1-windows.exe with the
option "--optionfile <file>"
The option file has the following content (the ${..} are replaced
with correct
values before execution):
#mode=unattended
datadir=${program.base}data
prefix=${program.base}
serverport=${postgres.port}
superaccount=postgres
superpassword=${postgres.passwd}
unattendedmodeui=minimalWithDialogs
servicename=${postgres.service.name}
1) If the "mode" property is enabled to mode=unattended, the installation
works silent but the whole 'data' folder is missing after
installation (the first
error message will occur when the server-startup failes after installation).
2) If the "mode" property is disabled, the Installer interface appears.
Everything is correctly set, I need only to press the <next> button. The
Installation completes correctly.
Why does my unattended installation as described in 1) fail, but 2)
succeeds?
Thank you in advance for the help
Peter.
Here are options that I use for unattended install (and it creates
cluster with Postgres, template0, and template1 databases, which
means data directory and all its subdirectories are created too):
SET INSTALLOPTIONS=--unattendedmodeui none
SET INSTALLOPTIONS=%INSTALLOPTIONS% --mode unattended
Also, you are missing settings for servicesaccount, servicepassword,
and locale, e.g.:
SET INSTALLOPTIONS=%INSTALLOPTIONS% --locale C
SET INSTALLOPTIONS=%INSTALLOPTIONS% --serviceaccount postgres
SET INSTALLOPTIONS=%INSTALLOPTIONS% --servicepassword pg_password123
In general, to diagnose (silent or not) installation problems find
"bitrock" installer log somewhere under DocumentsandSettings for OS
user that runs installation.
Regards,
Igor Neyman
