The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 3482
Logged by: Nathalie Azzola
Email address: nahalie.azzola@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.2.4-1
Operating system: Windows XP Pro
Description: Postgresql DB does not start when lanuched via .bat
Details:

Hi,

Steps:
1 - During the installation, I unchecked the option "Start/Use as Windows
Service".
2 - Finished installation without any warning nor error.
3 - Click on the .bat launcher file.
4 - A command window opens and closes 2 seconds after.
5 - Postgresql has not started.

I have been told by someone that this version of Postgresql can only start
through the Windows service.

Regards,
NA

Nathalie,

you should open a command-shell (Run, Execute, cmd)

and start the .bat launcher file from there. Propably you will learn that
the installer did not create a template database when you chose to not
install PostgreSQL as a service. Blease consult the excellent documentation
for "createdb".

Best wishes,

Harald

adding to my own mail: the command you need to look up in the documentation
will be initdb.exe, not createdb.exe

Best wishes,

Harald
