PostgreSQL reinstall : Failed to load sql modules into the database cluster

I tried to re-install postgresql 9.5.3-1 on my windows 7 without success. In fact, at each attempt, I have the message:

failed to load sql modules into the database cluster

then, I get the message:

Error running post install step. Installation may not complete correctly. Error reading C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.5/data/postgresql.conf

I tried several attempts to solve this issue

change the installation folder
switch to 32-bit
reboot
clean the register before reinstalling
install as a postgres user as describe here (Failed to load sql modules into the database cluster during PostgreSQL Installation)

PS: installation language is French

Failed to load sql modules

Same problem here.

In my case it was a backslash \ at the end of the password.

Had same problem. Just double check permission for your data folder. I set full control to authenticated users and it installs correctly.

I finally found a solution to my problem. I just installed postgres as a super administrator
