How do I avoid this osm2pgsql duplicate key error in Windows?

Question

I am attempting to load an OSM .bz2 file into a PostGIS database using osm2pgsql but am stuck at a duplicate key value in the nodes which violates a unique constraint - any suggestions? output is below:

C:\Temp>osm2pgsql -s -C 3000 -U postgres -W -d POSTGIS -S C:\temp\default.style us-west-latest.osm.bz2 osm2pgsql SVN version 0.69-21289M

You are using osm2pgsql version 0.69 which does not support 64-bit identifiers and will accordingly not handle OSM files more recent than February 2013.

Although unrelated to the error you're getting you should make sure you are using a 64-bit system to make use of all your RAM and use a .osm.pbf extract, not a .osm.bz2 one.
