Thread: initdb bug report

Hello. I'm Hamaguchi.
now I use PostgreSQL8.2 on WindowsServer2003(SP2).
I did execute "initdb -D c:\test" in CommandLine.
But, it didn't initialize.
This is Bug?

How to initialize on WindowsServer2003(SP2)?

<command line error message>

thesamedirectory as "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin/initdb".Check your installation.
