Hi everyone, thanks in advance. I'm using Win XP and trying to install
PostgreSQL 8.3, i've read the DOCs and followed every step carefully,
everything seems to be right on the progress bar untill it stucks and
prompts: "Failed to run initdb: 1! Please see the logfile in
"blabla"\tmp\initdb.log"

So here it is:

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 Spanish_Spain.1252.
The default text search configuration will be set to "spanish".

creating directory C:/Archivos de programa/PostgreSQL/8.3/data ... ok
creating subdirectories ... ok
selecting default max_connections ... 10
selecting default shared_buffers/max_fsm_pages ... 400kB/20000
creating configuration files ... ok
creating template1 database in C:/Archivos de
programa/PostgreSQL/8.3/data/base/1 ... child process exited with exit
code 1
initdb: removing data directory "C:/Archivos de
programa/PostgreSQL/8.3/data"



After this, i've tried installing the Postgres Plus Advanced Server 8.3,
using operating system local and encoding (by default)...and bang, it
won't install either! Thanks to this try, i think i've taken more
information about what the real problem is...but i can't go any further.
This is thi error i get in postgresplus instalation:

(Apr 7, 2009 1:49:07 PM), Install,
com.enterprisedb.isaction.InitDBFailAction, err, ProductException:
(error code = 601; message="Initdb Failed"; additional data = [Data
folder [C:\PostgresPlus\8.3AS\data] does not exist.])
STACK_TRACE: 12
ProductException: (error code = 601; message="Initdb Failed"; additional
data = [Data folder [C:\PostgresPlus\8.3AS\data] does not exist.])
[and a lot more of junk here, useless in my opinion]

Install logs are showing:
---- initout.txt:
