I have tried to install postgres onto my pc and i keep getting the same problem, when i get to step 11 in the walk through where it says postgres will now install it starts to install but then i recieve this error:

error

failed to run initdb: 1!
please see the logfile in 'C:\Program
files\postgreSQL\8.3\tmp\initdb.log'.
Note! You must read/copy this logfile before you click OK,
or it will be automatically removed.

Then the installation stops.

Any ideas?

thanks

Go to Program Files and delete the postgreSQL folder. Reboot your PC and retry.
