Hi
I am trying to install Postgres 8.2 on a virtual machine that has Windown 2003 SP2. The installation fails with the error "Failed to run initdb: 128". I searched the archives and looks like it is a catch-all error. But is there anything specific that we can do to resolve this issue?
I am logged in as an administrator, so no problem with permissions. Postgres was able to create the windows user account properly and after that it fails with the above error. It tells us to copy a log file initdb.log, but that file does not exist.
There is another log file pginstall.log, where I do see some error messages, I printed them below. Any help is appreciated.
