I am trying to install postgreSQL for a flask project. Towards the end of the installation I get this error message: "Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly. Failed to start the database server." If I'm lucky I can get get a different error message to pop up.

here are some links to things that I have tried.

  4. postgresql installation failed

  5. postgres installation the database cluster initialization failed ( Postgresql Version 9.4.4 )

I have tried installing other versions.

  • postgresql-11.2-2-windows-x64
    • I found in the beginning that this one is wrong for my version of windows.
  • postgresql-10.7-2-windows-x64
  • postgresql-9.6.12-2-windows-x64
  • postgresql-10.7-2-windows

Update: I knew that the computer name couldn't have spaces but I just found out that it can't have dashes either... it works now.
