It's been more than three days, I have tried all the the solutions below,
postgres installation the database cluster initialization failed ( Postgresql Version 9.4.4 ) https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/10241/postgresql-the-database-cluster-initialization-failed
Win 10 Postgresql 11 database cluster initialisation failed
https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/28836/pg-install-the-database-cluster-initialisation-failed/28893 ...and many more.
I have tried almost everything out there.
Here's what I did for last few times while installing,
I followed these steps which most of the answers followed. I tried both installing normally in C:/Program Data/Postgres as well as installing separately by making a C:/Postgres folder.Nothing worked.
I am mentioning the error logs below.
Error running C:\Windows\System32\cscript //NoLogo "C:\Postgres/installer/server/initcluster.vbs" "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService" "postgres" "****" "C:\Users\postgres.lenovo.000\AppData\Local\Temp/postgresql_installer_7f8b73b553" "C:\Postgres" "C:\Postgres\data" 5433 "DEFAULT" 0: Program ended with an error exit code Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly The database cluster initialisation failed.
I think the one below doesn't matter but still mentioning.
