PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3
Operating system: Windows 2000 Workstation SP4
Description: Can't install in D:\
Details:
I'm trying to install PostgreSQL 8.0 in D:/Programmi/PostgreSQL, but I get
this error from initdb:
creating directory D:/Programmi/PostgreSQL/8.0/data/global ... initdb: could
not create directory "D:/Programmi/PostgreSQL": File exists
of course "file exists": installer just created it!
Please see the FAQ and the archives of the mailing lists. This has come
up before. It's permissions issues on your D: drive or subdirectories.
