title: Failed to install PostgreSQL 8.3, failed to run initdb:1?
body: <p>I am reinstalling PostgreSQL using pgInstaller postgresql-8.3.16-1. An Error occurs in the last step of the install process:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Failed to run initdb:1!</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p><code>\tmp\initdb.log</code> shows this message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The application has failed to start because its side-by-side
    configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or
    use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The message is quite simple but I can't locate the root cause of the install failure. </p>
  
  <p>Any one knows what's the reason?</p>
