Bug reference: 16556 Logged by: Dmitri Kozlov Email address: dmitrikozlov@yahoo.com PostgreSQL version: 12.3 Operating system: Windows 10 Description:
Hello
I am using Windows 10 Professional Machine at home. I have admin rights.
I am running the installation of version 12.3 (latest)
I am getting the error: Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly The database cluster initialisation failed.
Before Installation of version 12.3, I completed the steps below: 1. Uninstalled version 11 from Apps & Features on windows 10 2. Uninstalled pgadmin3 from Apps & Features on windows 10 3. Deleted the folder: C:\Program Files\Postgresql 4. Downloaded version 12.3 (latest)
The error occurred when I try to use: 1. The default installation path under C:\Program Files 2. Created new folder C:\Postgresql
No matter what installation path folder I use, the installation always looks at C:\Program Files I get the error no matter what installation path I use.
Could you please look into this issue and let me know why I cannot install the new version or provide a workaround solution to address the problem.
I've seen this issue reported in the past, and when I try follow the advice, nothing seems to work.
Therefore, I decided to create the official ticket.
