I have been trying to get postgresql to install for a couple days now and it will not work. At the end when it is supposed to initialize database it says,
"The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not found in the
same directory as "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/bin/initdb".
Check your installation."
I have gone to http://www.nabble.com/BUG--3980:-Can-not-Install-PostgreSQL---error-at-the-end-of-installation-td15635482.html (http://http://www.nabble.com/BUG--3980:-Can-not-Install-PostgreSQL---error-at-the-end-of-installation-td15635482.html) and am having the same problem but nothing on that page works for me. I tried not installing the database and doing it manually from the command prompt and it still did gave me the same error message.
I have windows vista and uac has always been disabled on my computer. I have tried installing it about a hundred times and delete the folder and files everytime when it does not work before I try again.
