When I install PostgreSQL, I get the following error before the installation rolls back:
PostgreSQL 8.2
---------------
Failed to run initdb: -1073741502!
Please see the logfile in 'C:\Program FIles
(x86)\PostgreSQL\8.2\tmp\initdb.log'.
Note! You must read/copy this logfile before you click
OK, or it will be automatically removed.
[ OK ]
The logfile mentioned didn't exist, in fact the tmp folder mentioned was empty.
If I tick to make a log in the current folder at the start, then I see this in that log file:
