Hi Peter,

The scripts are executed by user Administrator on this specific machine
which has all the privileges that postgres user has (note postgres user
account is also created)
I also checked that the data directory and it contents are owned by user
postgres and user postgres's permissions are inheritable.

Thanks
Pankaj

the user here should be postgres.
Are you 'locally'/'directly' installing on the server machine?

Good luck.

Peter
