Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly The database cluster initialisation failed

Installing PostgreSQL v12.3 on Windows 10 with Windows x86-64 installer. I can't find a solution anywhere. Installer allows me to click ok and continue installation. I even have access to all the apps that come with Postgres, including the pgAdmin4 app, but I the 'psql' command in my command line doesn't work.

Anyone know how to resolve this?

I encountered same error as well. During the installation, you might see an option to select or specify a locale.By default, it will use your system locale. However, you can override it manually. Seting Locale to English, United States (en_US). This solved my problem. I think my error reason was related with character encoding. A conflict happened with my locale' language.
