The following command:
postgresql-15.2-1-windows-x64.exe --mode unattended --disable-components pgAdmin,stackbuilder --debugtrace PostgreSQLInstall.Log --debuglevel 2
causes an <errorDump> in the PostgreSQLInstall.Log file instead of log data. The command is being run in a cmd.exe with run-as-administrator on a Windows Server 2019 Std system. As far as I can tell it does look like PostgreSQL does get installed successfully.
Note: I had done uninstall of 15.1-1 and deleted the “C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\15\data” directory before I kicked off the new install. I had also tried as upgrade and changing some command line options like debug level to 4.
Note: I didn’t find anything in the doc that indicated this is expected output for Windows install log, but I am assuming the log should be human readable as compared to hex dump of Windows crash dump.
Thanks,
