Bug reference: 18553 Logged by: Yan Chen Email address: pinsaxy@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 16.3 Operating system: Windows 10 Description:
The first step for customers using PostgreSQL is installation. However, due to potential user permission issues with PostgreSQL, the installation always fails at the database creation step. During the installation process, a dialog box pops up saying: Problem running post-install step, Installation may not complete correctly. Failed to start the database server. After installation, the data directory is empty.
I believe that a dedicated software company should not ignore installation issues. I am extremely angry about this and have registered an account specifically to express my dissatisfaction with you!
