Actually the order is a bit different:
1. Start first of all ipc-daemon with "ipc-daemon &"
2. If you didn't, do a simple "initdb" -- the best ideea is to set environment variables required by PostgreSQL
utilities(i.e. psql & co.), not to use the "-D" switch for each of them
3. Start the postmaster having "-i" option enabled -- either "postmaster -i&" or "pg_ctl -o \"-i"\ start"
4. Play with whaterver utility you wish -- never forget to use "-h <hostname>" option -- under win32 it's required
