postgresql installation failed

Question

I tried to install postgresql 8.4 in my windows 7 (64 bit). But it fails with following messages in log

Initialising the database cluster (this may take a few min         


        

Answer 1

the easiest way i solve this was:

1.- uninstall if you have already installed

2.- delete all files with failed instalations

3.- start windows in secure mode

4.- run installer in secure mode (it pops a warning but ignore) and restart

and that's it when restarted the service was running ok and everything works fine
