Help to Install Postgre SQL

Hello,

I have been trying many times to install Postgre SQL but every time I uninstall and re-install I fail.
I receive the message the message following message
“Problem running post-install step. installation may not complete correctly
The database cluster initialization failed”.
I have searched many on the internet and I have found that this issue is so common but never of the solution works with me or many times it is too complicated for me to understand.
I am new in the world of SQL and have no much computer science background to fix this issue or understand the solution I have read on the internet.
So please help.

Regards,
Abdallah Farouk

This does not seem like a bug, but more like some kind of pilot error
( not try to offend, you declared yourself as a novice, novice make
mistakes, we've all been there ).

Your chances of getting help will be much higher if you post your
question in any of the non-bug lists, like general or novice ( you
have a list of them in /list/ ).

Also, be it a bug or an error, your chances of getting useful
responses will be much improved if you include some relevant
information. In your case, an installation error, this will be things
like "I'm trying to install postgres {the version you are installing}
on { your operating system} with an installer I downloaded from {your
dowload location, and the exact url if possible} and got this
problem". Installation problems tend to be operating system / version
/ installer specific, and people may not even look at your report if
you do not provide that kid of info ( as it is normally impossible to
solve without that ).

You are still posting to the bug list ( me too, but I'm doing it to
let people know your message is being answered ).

I WILL NOT answer any other message in this thread which goes into the
bugs list, if you are really this lost and cannot get to the general
lists send messages JUST TO ME, not CCing to the list, and I will try
to help you get there without posting off topic messages to the bugs
list.

Even if I could help you, I CAN NOT do it with the info you have
provided ( i.e., you may be using windows which I do not have access
to and I've never installed postgres into, but there are lots of
people in the general list which may be able to help you. They
probably can identify it directly if you tell them what is happening
with a little more details.

Regards.

Hi,

Please share some more details so that we can help you better.

- What's your Windows version?
- What version of PostgreSQL windows installer are you using?
- The installer would have generated the bitrock installation logs in
the %TEMP%. Please share those
