log file it tells me to check before it deletes it in the rollback it says repeatedly something about "access is denied". Below is the actual install log (or a small portion of it, near the end where the error occurs). Any ideas? Regards, Abe p.s. this is a repost from my initial post on the novice list... which I've become aware is relatively inactive.
Did you check the initdb.log that was referenced in your Windows error message?
I do not "know" this to be your issue but I am guess that you tried to install PostgreSQL with Administrator (or as an Administrator) rights.
PostgreSQL must be installed as a non Administrative user on Windows.
Sincerely,
