Thread: BUG #16218: The database cluster initialization failed
The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 16218 Logged by: Uzair Irfan Email address: pkzisop@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 12.1 Operating system: Windows 10 Description: Hello, I am supposed to use this program for my university class on database management. Every time i try to install this program I get his error, "Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly. The database cluster initialisation failed" I was wondering if you knew of any ways to fix this. I am running windows 10 and have all updates installed. I also have tried to run it as administrator and nothing seems to help. I even tried to install version 11 and I got the same error. When trying to use the application stack builder, it only gives me the option for "remote server" whereas my classmates get a local server option on stack builder. Thank you for your help, Uzair Irfan
Likely permission related. Try installing in a folder you created like e.g. C:\postgres12
