Re: initdb.exe error while installing postgres 8.0

HI Martin,
Thanks for your response. I tried installing from postgresql user
account, it didn't worked for me. It was giving a different error
(Access Denied), I gave all security permissions to that user still it
didn't worked. This user is not a power user (only limited user) but i
didn't see any option as power user. Do you know how to make a limited
user as a power user. any other suggestions.
thank you,
shashi.
