If you can do that, you obviously have admin rights, so why not just use
the MSI installer?

That said, this often happens if you have an incorrect version of the
MSVC runtime on your system. See the README file in the download directory.

Hello,

I tried everything to get init_db working, but I failed :-(
So I tried another way. I tried Veriosn 8.2. With 8.2 I got another DLL
missing. So I tried 8.1.
And look, it works :-) No DLL problems.

But now init_db tells me, that the PostgreSQL Server can't be started with
admin rights.
Is there a way to do it?

Thanks,
Stefan Sturm

Not in 8.1. 8.2 added support for starting as admin. For 8.1, you need
to create a user that's not an admin user for the service to run under,
and make sure you set the permissions properly for it to access the data
directories.
