Hi, Asif.
Thank you for response.

This failure does not occur by the command line.
PostgreSQL needs to start by Windows Service.
Additionally,In this case,
A file "Program" needs to be exist at "C:\Users\asif\Desktop\", and
"postgres.exe" needs to be exist at "C:\Users\asif\Desktop\Program
files\9.3\bin".
------------
C:\Users\asif\Desktop\Program files\9.3\bin>dir
...
4,435,456 postgres.exe
80,896 pg_ctl.exe
...
C:\Users\asif\Desktopp>dir
...
0 Program
<DIR> Program files
...
