I am trying out postgresql-8.3-dev1 on Windows XP SP2 and during the installation, I get the following error during the database cluster initialization :
Here the log from initdb.log file :
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "SYSTEM".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
