Hi,
I just used the postbooks installer and it did not create the pg_tblspc
directory, so the issue appears to be caused by a messed up Postbooks
win32 installer.   Check out this screenshot:

They must be deleting it after the initdb, maybe they figured since it
was empty they did not need it?

Later,
