Subject: [BUGS] initdb bug report

Hello. I'm Hamaguchi.
now I use PostgreSQL8.2 on WindowsServer2003(SP2).
I did execute "initdb -D c:\test" in CommandLine.
But, it didn't initialize.
This is Bug?

How to initialize on WindowsServer2003(SP2)?

<command line error message>
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin>initdb -D c:\test
The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not found in the
same directory as "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin/initdb".
Check your installation.
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin>

________________________________

Is the command is run with an administrator account?

If so try INITDB with a non administrative account.

It may work.
