Hi
I am trying to install Postgres 8.2 on a virtual machine that has
Windown 2003 SP2. The installation fails with the error "Failed to run
initdb: 128". I searched the archives and looks like it is a catch-all
error. But is there anything specific that we can do to resolve this
issue?
I am logged in as an administrator, so no problem with permissions.
Postgres was able to create the windows user account properly and after
that it fails with the above error. It tells us to copy a log file
initdb.log, but that file does not exist.
There is another log file pginstall.log, where I do see some error
messages, I printed them below. Any help is appreciated.
