The first time I just double clicked on the file initdb.exe. Just now
I tried to run it through the command prompt and go this, this is the
same stuff that was in the log file in the temp directory after I ran
the installer:
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin>initdb.exe -D C:\PostgreSQL\8.4\data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "User".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale English_Canada.1252.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to WIN1252.
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".
fixing permissions on existing directory C:/PostgreSQL/8.4/data ... ok
creating subdirectories ... initdb: could not create directory "C:/PostgreSQL":
File exists
initdb: removing contents of data directory "C:/PostgreSQL/8.4/data"
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin>
I deleted the PostgreSQL Directory that was there (empty) and tried
again and now it tells me that initdb.exe is not a valid win32 application
