pg_upgrade on Windows

    hi guys,

    
    I am having issues with pg_upgrade on Windows.  I have posted a
    question on StackOverflow -- at
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34664236/pg-upgrade-on-windows-cannot-write-to-log-file-pg-upgrade-internal-log
    -- copied below for convenience:

    
    I'm trying to run
      pg_upgrade on Windows, but I'm getting the error:
    
      cannot write to log file pg_upgrade_internal.log
        Failure, exiting
    
    I saw a similar question
      for Linux at 23216734 which explains that the
      issue is with permissions, but it doesn't help with Windows as I
      do not have a user named postgres
    Same goes for the pg_upgrade docs, which mention a postgres user:
    
      RUNAS /USER:postgres "CMD.EXE"
    
    But again, I do not have
      such a user, and am trying to run this command as Administrator so
      I don't understand why I would have no permission. I even tried to
      do
    RUNAS /USER:Administrator "CMD.EXE"
    And run pg_upgrade in the
      new command prompt, but am getting the same error.
    Also, I am not sure which
      directory needs permissions? Where is the process trying to write pg_upgrade_internal.log to?
    any ideas?  TIA!
