I made it to step 9 of the installation process:

it says:

data directory error

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


What the hell does that mean, and where do I go from here?

If you have a previous database just untick the "initialise database cluster" and if you dont want to keep the previous databases delete the PostgreSQL folder in C:/Program Files and rerun the installation
