Hi I get this error message when installing postgres-

The specified data directory is not empty.

If you have an existing database with the same major version number, you do not need to initialize a data base cluster. If you have an existing database with a different major version you need to backup your old database and create a new one.

Thanks

I had the same problem.

I uninstalled postgresql
deleted folder from C:program files
then reinstalled and it worked like a champ
