Bug reference: 18012 Logged by: Matt Feemster Email address: matt.feemster@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 15.3 Operating system: Windows 10 Pro Description:
When running the installer it proceeds until just about the end, then hangs indefinitely trying to initialize the database. I noticed that when this happened, Notepad++ would open two .bat temporary batch files. I realized that the .bat file extension was registered to be opened with Notepad++, which caused the scripts not to be run, but rather just opened as text. Once I de-registered Notepad++ as the default program for .bat files, the installer completed successfully.
I think you may need to explicitly use cmd.exe to run the .bat files, rather than just "opening" them.
