why not use the installer, which sets it all up correctly for you?

I think the problem is, you ran initdb as your user account, but the
system service is running as the special system accounbt
NETWORK_SERVICE, or similar, and there may be files in the data
directory which the NETWORK_SERVICE account doesn't have write access
writes to. you can probably fix this with the cacls command.
