Re: Cluster is not being created - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Hi Igor,

As Robert mentioned,the information so far isn't enough to diagnose the problem.

The "versions do not match" error usually means that initdb is finding a different postgres.exe than the one you expect,even if --version prints the same number.On Windows this often happens due to a leftover PostgreSQL installation or an unexpected entry in PATH.

Could you please share:

1.The exact error message printed by initdb
2.Exact command you used to run initdb
3.The output of
 where initdb
 where postgres
 echo %PATH%
4.Confirmation that there are no remaining PostgreSQL directories (eg. C:\program Files\PostgreSQL\*) or PostgreSQL services from older versions

with those details,it should be possible to see whether this is a PATH or installation issue ,or something else.

Thanks,
