I am trying out postgresql-8.3-dev1 on
Windows XP SP2 and during the installation, I get the following error during
the database cluster initialization : Here the log from initdb.log file : The files belonging to this database system
will be owned by user "SYSTEM". This user must also own the server process. The database cluster will be initialized
with locale C. creating directory
