PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3
Operating system: Windows 2000 Workstation SP4
Description: Can't install in D:\
Details:

I'm trying to install PostgreSQL 8.0 in D:/Programmi/PostgreSQL, but I get
this error from initdb:

creating directory D:/Programmi/PostgreSQL/8.0/data/global ... initdb: could
not create directory "D:/Programmi/PostgreSQL": File exists

of course "file exists": installer just created it!

TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

Please see the FAQ and the archives of the mailing lists. This has come
up before. It's permissions issues on your D: drive or subdirectories.
