When I am trying to install PostgreSQL I get an error message which say:
(Due to this I am not able to install PostgreSQL)

Failed to run initdb: 1!
Please see the logfile in: C/Programmer/.......

When I go to the logfile it says:

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 Danish_Denmark.1252.
The default text search configuration will be set to danish.

creating directory CProgrammerPostgreSQL8.3data ... initdb could not create directory CProgrammerPostgreSQL File exists


Can anybody tell me how I can solve this problem?

Hi Morny

Ty for the link. I have been reading and tried the suggestions. But I still have problems. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I am not good with these kind of problems :-S

Is it possible that we can set up a teamviewer session, and you thereby can help me?

Feel free to add me on MSN messenger: tobias@stormtryller.com

Kind regards
Tobias Storm
