Have you read the FAQ?
  http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/text/FAQ_MSWIN

You don't say whether you followed step 3a - starting the ipc daemon.

Hi,

Use ipc-daemon2.exe instead of ipc-daemon.exe

I had the same problem and the same message when I upgraded to the latest
version. Using the ipc-demon2.exe solved the problem

TIP the message
selecting default max_connections... 10 should be 100 after starting
ipc-daemon2.exe
