Hmm, and are sure that the encrypted partition is seen by the system as
a NTFS partition?

I've done that, but not on Windows, so I'm not really sure how that'll
work. Maybe someone with more Windows experience could help here?

BTW: you could try and install Postgres as usual, and just keep your WAL
logs directory and all data from the tables on the encrypted partition.
Just read the documentation on CREATE TABLESPACE and about moving the
pg_xlog directory.
