Failed to run initdb: 1!
Please see the logfile in 'C:Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.2/tmp/initdb.log
Note you must read/copy this logfile before you click OK or it will be automatically removed.
I made a copy of that file in the folder didnt do anything and when i hit the ok button on that window the program uninstalls the data already completed for the program
I have tried downloading again and such any help appreciated !!!

Make sure that you right click and run the installation file as an administrator.
Best regards,

Hit CTRL-ALT-DELETE. In the Task Manager click on the "Processes" tab. Do you see "postgres.exe" listed?
