You are not telling HOW you installed it ( i.e. "I downloaded the
installer for x.y from wherever and ran it doing whatever" ).

Error unknown to everybody but you. Is smoke coming out of the second
floppy disk? Card punch jammed?

You may be, but venting out against a list of mostly unpaid volunteers
is not going to be productive.

Do no know it, but there are a lot of knoledgeable windows users on
the list which may be able to help you.

Read the bug reporting guidelines ( you may have been done that yet,
thay are a little sparse on installation errors, as that depend on the
installer ).

Report with a little bit more detail. Something like "I download the
pinkfruit installer for windows 8.1 from their repo, double click on
it and get a dialog with the error "Cannot make directory
X:\doors\pg_data\database: 0xbadc0fee - cross polarization neutrino
flow" may be recognized by someone and have a simple answer. "I always
get the same error" is surely recognized, it has happened to me, but I
doubt the solutions for my debian linux on the two different case I
got this symptom apply to your case.

Also, the "pissed" chunk is going to greatly increase the
probabilities of people just stopping there and deleting your mail. I
routinely answer one of these a month, but I normally just redirect
the sender to /dev/null. ( That's a personal thing and opinion, trying
to help, not any official stuff ).
