  • There must be more error messages than just that line. – Laurenz Albe Apr 12 '21 at 06:52
  • when I ran this command , "initdb.exe -U postgres -A password -E utf8 -W -D C:\pgsql\data." , it gave me only above error , and the given windows event log error message. After failing to install binary files I dowloaded the official postgresql database installer , which also failed but that gave me a log file , which I am updating in this question , but I need solution for binary installation , not for postgresql gui installer. @LaurenzAlbe – Dragon Apr 12 '21 at 14:41
  • Did you try to turn of your virus scanner? –  Apr 12 '21 at 14:47
  • @a_horse_with_no_name yes I have tried permission issues ,virus scanning , firewall , directory change ,user creation and deletion but no luck. I even tried installing the official postgresql installer , but still error occurs in initdb.exe – Dragon Apr 12 '21 at 21:58
