Re: New pginstaller beta - Mailing list pgsql-hackers-win32

Getting the follow error on install.
Note also that I tried running initdb manually with -d
I used the postgres account that was created by the install to run
initdb, by first running runas /user:postgres "cmd"
then typing the init db call
Listman


The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
