I don't know, I don't use Windows myself. Where did get that "The
database cluster initialisation failed" message? Is there any other
messages in the same place?

There is a work around for this. Uninstall Postgres, and remove the pgsql user account(if it was created), as well as any postgres directories(after uninstall). Login as the local, that is “built in” Administrator, run as Administrator.

You can find the log files in %TEMP% folder.
