Shashank,
as stated before, you need to install on a _supported_ O/S.
Windows 2003 is NO LONGER SUPPORTED.
Not sure that is relevant.
So:
1) Where are you getting the Postgres installer from?
2) When you uninstalled are you sure it actually uninstalled everything?
3) Are you doing the install as Administrator?
4) Where are you trying to install the Postgres data directory if not in
the default location?
5) What does the system log when the install is hanging?
So install on Windows 7, Windows 8 or the just released Windows 10.

Thanks for responding. I am using postgresql-9.4.4-3 version to
install. However I am getting the same issue with postgresql-9.3.9-3
version as well. Kindly suggest, what needs to be done.

I hope you realize that support for Windows 2003 ended July 2015
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/windows-server-2003/
Plus you never mentioned WHICH VERSION of PostgreSQL you are trying
to install.
Perhaps you should try a supported version of PostgreSQL on a
supported version of Windows.
That might work a little better.

Hi
I am unable to install Postgresql on window 2003. I have
already installed previously. As, I forgot the password, I
have uninstalled and trying to install again.
I got error as " The database cluster initialization failed ".
The solution to this problem I got as "During the
installation, you are asked to choose a location to store the
postgres data. The default location is C:\Program
Files\Postgres\data. Choosing a location outside of the
Program Files directory (e.g. C:\Postgres Data) can often
overcome the problem described above. " I got the solution
from http://www.maplesoft.com/support/faqs/detail.aspx?sid=33315
After doing the above steps, the setup is stuck at the final
stage. It is just showing as "Installing the database cluster
(this make take few minutes)".
Kindly help me on this. Thanks in advance.
