Hi,
1. The command line passed is -D "c:\data" --user=McAfeePostgresUser
2. McAfeePostgresUser which is a local machine user with limited
privileges. Though this problem occurs with any user account you create
with non-administrator privileges.
Thanks

Thanks for the info, I shall indeed try this.
One thing to mention is that I don't think the error occurs within
initdb, it seams to be postgres.exe that dbinit starts.

I have determined what is causing the failure. It appears that the
stdout & stderr redirection to nul produces the "Access is Denied."
message. This is happening even if I type "dir >nul" at the command
prompt! I assume that this re-direction in PostgreSQL is done when
starting postgres.exe as
I did run filemon but did not get anything from it :( Yes I disabled all
anti-virus software, no difference made.
Have raised a helpdesk ticket with Microsoft, see if they can shed any
light on the problem.

Just to let you guys know, I spoke to Microsoft and they confirmed that
they have restricted access to the 'nul' device in a security update (to
admin users). Not quite sure of the extact update! This is hardcoded in
the Windows source, so no way to change somthing via code :(
