PostgreSql "running post install step…the Database Cluster Initialisation failed"

[mohamkz]

I keep having this problem with different versions of postgreSQL (17 - 16 - 15)
Uploading install-postgresql.log…
this is the log file

Please share the installation log to help us understand the cause better

I think I found the problem with the installation on my (WIN10) system. The installer seems to use a VBS script (initcluster.vbs), but for security reasons this VBS scripts are disabled on my system. I was able to install Postgres on another system (WIN11)

[sandeep-edb]

Yeah, we are migrating those legacy scripts to the new technology. Hopefully, they should be done soon.

I am getting the same error on Win 11 - apparently, I am not allowed to share install log (from my company)
