the windows user that owns the process ("postgres" by default) needs to
have the right to write in the folder to write a server log.
by default, this user has very few privileges (for good reasons - security).
about psql not writing that log:
>> means to redirect "standard out" to a file. But "standard error" is not
affected by that.
add 2>&1 to write errors to that log too.
