Error initdb.exe bundled version jaspersoft server 7

[rtiel]

When I install the bundled version of Jaspersoft report server 7.1.0 on a windows 2016 server I keep getting an error:

error running initdb.exe -U postgres -E UTF8 -D "E:/Jaspersoft/jasperreportsserver-7.1.0/postgressql/data": child killed: unknown signal

I've used a domain admin as well a local admin account. Also I tried to install it on C: to no avail. When the error exists during the install the location "E:/Jaspersoft/jasperreportsserver-7.1.0/postgressql/data" dows not exist.

Firewall is disabled and there's no virusscanner and UAC is disabled (https://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/error-running-initdbexe-u-postgres-e-utf8-d)

How to fix this??

Thnx Remco

Postgresql installer has problems and I've found it to be a waste of time trying to find the cause.

It's faster and better to install postgresql separately before trying to install JasperReports Server and just select the database during the install process. This way, you'll also be able to upgrade Postgresql as apply patches.

Thnx for your answer,

I've tried it with success, all works well now.

When I removed nuisance characters from the default installer path (dashes, dots), then the error disappeared.
