when you install PostgreSQL the installation copies all its binaries to
their respective places and tries to start the server afterwards.
This of course fails as the needed ports are already used by the running
old PostgreSQL server.
So you end up with a mixture of new and old.
No idea whether it will be enough to stop the running PostgreSQL and the
just restart the PostgreSQL service ..
