title: Install PostgreSQL data in user folder
body: <p>I'm trying to install PostgreSQL (version 9.4.5-2 x64) in my computer and I would like to put data in my user folder. I think that it is better to do not lose data when uninstall Postgre later or even format programs partition.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that it doesn't initiate the PostgreSQL service, even using Administrator profile. It shows a message saying: <code>Failed to load SQL Modules into the database cluster.</code>, probably because it couldn't initiate the service.</p>
  
  <p>I tried many different folders and even changing some permissions it was not possible to do this. The best alternative was to put it on program data folder. Is there anything that I could do to put it or in local user app data or my documents folder?</p>
  
  <p>Regards,
  Leandro</p>
