Re: Strange error in Windows 10 Pro

Thanks Adrian for the suggestion of running the installer with Admin
rights.  Unfortunately, I get the same results.  It appears that all of
the folders within C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6 path are created, and
populated, BUT, when the items in the *data* folder are to be created,
or copied into, it leaves an error message as noted previously.  The
*data* folder is empty.

It's almost as if the PC is missing a critical .dll needed in the *data*
folder filling function (my guess).

Again, I am at a loss as to what to do.
