Your errors certainly indicate it's a permissions issue. You should also
veryfi that the read-only flag is not set on any of the files. I don't see
how it could become that, but if it is that'll give the same error.

Also, check the permissions on c:\, C:/Archivos de programa/ and all teh
way down the tree. The postgres service account needs read access there,
and write to data and below.

Permissions set for SYSTEM and/or administrators make no difference at all
to the server.

And yes, it shoul dbe set on the file and all subdirs. Use the checkbox to
overwrite all permissions on subdirs, that's the fastest way.
