There are no differences between the 2 servers that I can imagine would stop this install. Both were sucessfully running PostgrSQL 9.4.5 prior to the update. The /data directory is not even being created. After uninstalling there is no /PostgreSQL subdirectory under C:/Program Files/. The installer is able to create /PostgreSQL/9.5/ and subdirectories under this. Comparing the 2 installs the following are missing under C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.5/ on the unsucessfull install: ./data/ ./gdal-data/ (does this only get created when PostGIS is installed?) ./utils/ My suspicion is that a security setting somewhere is preventing these being created, but I don't knopw where to look. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.nabble.com/Error-installing-9-5-on-Win-2012-R2-data-dir-not-created-tp5882726p5882909.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
