Psql dosent log error messages on windows

the windows user that owns the process ("postgres" by default) needs to
have the right to write in the folder to write a server log.
by default, this user has very few privileges (for good reasons - security).

about psql not writing that log:

means to redirect "standard out" to a file. But "standard error" is not

affected by that.
add 2>&1 to write errors to that log too.

C:/test_files/pg.log
psql.exe -h localhost -d test -U postgres -w -f C:/test_files/test.sql -o
C:/test_files/pg.log

Configuration settings :
log_destination = 'stderr,eventlog,csvlog'
logging_collector = on
client_min_messages = notice
log_min_messages = warning

The server is started as :

pg_ctl.exe -l "C:/test_files/log/pg.log" -D "C:/pgsql_9_1_1/data" start

Also no error messages this log file.
But the errors are in the eventlog of windows.

Thanks for help.
