Here are options that I use for unattended install (and it creates cluster with Postgres, template0, and template1 databases, which means data directory and all its subdirectories are created too): SET INSTALLOPTIONS=--unattendedmodeui none SET INSTALLOPTIONS=%INSTALLOPTIONS% --mode unattended Also, you are missing settings for servicesaccount, servicepassword, and locale, e.g.: SET INSTALLOPTIONS=%INSTALLOPTIONS% --locale C SET INSTALLOPTIONS=%INSTALLOPTIONS% --serviceaccount postgres SET INSTALLOPTIONS=%INSTALLOPTIONS% --servicepassword pg_password123 In general, to diagnose (silent or not) installation problems find "bitrock" installer log somewhere under DocumentsandSettings for OS user that runs installation.
