Note the following:

    $ ls -l /usr/bin/vi /usr/bin/postmaster
    lrwxrwxrwx    1 Administ Domain U       23 Aug  5 09:36 /usr/bin/postmaster -> postgres.exe
    lrwxrwxrwx    1 Administ Domain U       18 Sep 17 08:26 /usr/bin/vi -> vim.exe

Hence, both vi and postmaster are symlinks.  It appears that symlinks
are not working on this particular machine.  Fix this problem and
PostgreSQL should be OK.  Sorry that I can't be any more helpful.
