initdb -E UTF-8 postgres ..\data fails

Following your installation tutorial on Windows 7 64bit.

The error says too many command-line arguments...

But I believe the error should be database already exists.

You might want to link to the document you are referring to.

Initdb only takes a single argument <directory>.  You have provided two:
"postgres" and "..\data"

It doesn't get far enough to check for an existing database since you messed
up the command itself.
