I am trying to install postgreSQL v8.2.5 as a prerequisite for Firefox Bugzilla application on one of our network servers (Microsoft Server 2000).
The logfile reads:
fixing permissions on existing directory C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.2/data ... ok creating subdirectories ... initdb: could not create directory "C:/Program Files": File exists initdb: removing contents of data directory "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.2/data"
I'm guessing the postgres user doesn't have permission to read C:/ so it can't see "Program Files" and can't create it.
This message suggests the same (found by googling "postgresql install could not create directory")
