Ошибка установки postgres в Windows 8

Question

Я использую ноутбук с Windows 8 в качестве сервера разработки.

Я пытаюсь установить postgres на свой ноутбук, но получаю следующую ошибку:

Проблема с запуском шага после установки. Установка может не завершиться правильно. Сбой инициализации кластера базы данных.

Вот видео моих усилий (извините за ужасное качество, я до сих пор не использовал программное обеспечение для захвата экрана):

Solution:
- Uninstall PostgreSQL
- net user postgres /delete
- Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Configure advanced user profile properties -> delete all "Unknown User" instances that seem to be left from postgres
- compmgmt.msc -> Local Users and Groups -> Users -> New User... -> User name: postgres, Password: postgrespass -> Create
- compmgmt.msc -> Local Users and Groups -> Users -> postgres -> Member of -> Add... -> Administrators -> OK
- copy postgresql-8.4.9-1-windows.exe to C:\
- runas /user:postgres cmd.exe -> cd \ -> postgresql-8.4.9-1-windows.exe -> installed successfully without errors. Checked data folder and confirmed files created successfully.
- compmgmt.msc -> Local Users and Groups -> Users -> postgres -> Member of -> Administrators -> Remove
- compmgmt.msc -> Local Users and Groups -> Users -> postgres -> Member of -> Add... -> Power Users -> OK
- Installed HM2 -> created db successfully
- Restarted computer -> HM2 runs properly (i.e. just to check postgresql service starts automatically)
