| May 27, 2021 at 16:58 | comment | added | Ramhound | My experience with Office has taught me to ignore file paths, since every current version of Office, is basically “Office 15”. The thread you linked to talked about a .vbs file and how it should do this function in 9.2; I cannot really think of a way to explain why the installer works the way it does. | |

My current next attempt will be to compile an alternative getlocales.exe, which just puts "English_United Kingdom" to stdout, and replace the original mid-install. There appears to be an environment variable INITDBOPTS, but the values from the installer supersede it, making it half-useless.

| May 27, 2021 at 16:47 | comment | added | Doofus | As could be sneakily guessed from the folder path, i am trying to install postgres13, the most current that was suggested by the website (i'd even install 14 beta, but there was no installer). Using a different folder may be a solution, but the installer can somehow magically do it in "Program Files" as well. I wanted to stick as close to the defaults as possible, which is "Program Files" (i was actually hoping the installer would work out-of-the-box, but apparently not). Tbh i am generally not bound to postgres, but it seemed like a good choice for my use-case (before it failed at install). | |

Why don't you just store the data in a different location that doesn't require permission elevation? Vista was more forgiving when writing data to Program Files, with WIndows 7, you must elevate the permissions of the process itself. I suspect initdb is not being elevated despite being started in an elevated command prompt. I assume you are running a supported version of postgresql? (I could careless you using Windows 7, provided postgresql supports it, or you are running a version of postgresql that supports it).
