RE: Re: BUG #15769: The database cluster intialisation failed.

In case you did not receive the attachment on my reply I pasted code below for the error section from the end of the bitrock_installer.log file. Please advise.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale "English_United States.1252".
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

Data page checksums are disabled.

There's not much we can do without additional info - we don't know what exactly failed and why. Try digging in the windows system log, for example. I believe there should be a log file from the installer in %TEMP% so maybe there's more info in it.
