I am trying to install the 8.3-dev version on a Vmware virtual machine with WinXP SP2. I am able to install the 8.2.4.1 version with no problem using the very same settings for both servers as follow: SETTINGS : Account name postgres with password postmaster Accept connections on all addresses, not just localhost Install Adminpack During 8.3-dev installation I got through the usual error, and there are no previous warning during the installation process. MSG : Failed to run initdb: 1! Please see the logfile in 'C:\...\...\initdb.log'. Note! You must read ..... LOG FILE : The same as the other email I then reset the virtual machine and installed the 8.2 with no problem. At that point I tried to install the 8.3-dev with the account created by the 8.2 installation and I end up the same error.

Are you specifying an existing account for the service or are you letting the installer create one? Any warnings or other messages earlier in the install process? Are you able to install 8.2 on the same machine with the same options and account? /Magnus > The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "SYSTEM".
