"Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly"
Additional Information I have install on perm without problem, I think there is a access issue on NT NETWORK SERVICE account
I tried it in clean VM result are same.
Finally I've identified the problem.
this is problem in PostgreSQL Installer,
Problem account name from you are installing is contains space.
Can you add postgres user as a admin and try again?
or run the installation in Admin command prompt and let mw know
I tried result are same,
Try yourself in East US Data center
Create VM 2016 or Win 10
Then download postgres and try to install, you will see same result.
i will check and let you know.
You can also consider using azure managed PostgreSQl https://learn.microsoft.com/en-in/azure/postgresql/overview
i just created a windows 2016 Azure provided image and downloaded the installer from https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/ and proceeded with the installation.
installation went well and moved to the stack builder phase. Did you went till that stage
Today I created too, now in West US Datacenter,
Problem still exists.
Please create VM (Win 2016 Data center) in EAST US
Than Download Postgress from Official Stie.
at the end of installation you will get error.
I've repeated same and get same result. In West US
I can share my resource, if you mind.
I tried, results are same.
