Re: Not able to install Windows Version Yet

Hi,

installing cygpic1.14 from
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/index.html
should solve your initdb problem.

Sorry, but I only know this german site with instructions.
http://www.itechy.de/itechy_org/postgresql/postgresql_cygwin.html

Maybe it helps,
Christian
