postgres failed to start from services manager on windows 2008 r2

hi,

   We are able to start the postgres from command line without any issue, if postgres is registered as windows service and tried to start it, we are facing an issue .

Problem:

We have registered postgres(version 9.3.4) as windows service on windows 2008 R2 and registration got succeeded.

we are performing below 2 commands to register postgres as windows service

<fullpath>pg_ctl.exe register -N "prostgresService" -D "fullpath_to_data_directory" -W

>sc description prostgresService "prostgresService Applicatio
n Server Database Service"

when we try to start the service from services manager(services.msc) it is failing and popping up below message 

"The prostgres service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs "

postgres does not even create log and its directory pg_log in pgsql\data directory. 

windows event log has a message 

The description for Event ID 0 from source PostgreSQL cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event: 

Timed out waiting for server startup
 

could you please help us how to start, we are clueless since postgres is not creating log except windows event log.


thanks in advance
Phani Kumar
