I've installed it on my WinXP Professional SP2 (32 bit) machine without
error.

Action start 6:33:07: SetPermissions.
1: Setting filesystem permissions...
Action ended 6:33:07: SetPermissions. Return value 1.
MSI (s) (F4:44) [06:33:07:312]: Doing action: RunInitdb
Action 6:33:07: RunInitdb. Initializing database cluster (this may take
a minute or two)...

I wasn't installing under administrator, did this under my own account
and had the install create the 'postgres' user account.

Perhaps something wrong with the default file permissions where you are
installing Postgres. I assume Postgres creates directories that inherit
the parent directory permissions. If you have given the parent
restricted access, the 'postgres' user that PG runs under may not have
access to those dirs.

Only thing I can think of anyway, if not then I am not sure why you
would be having a problem.

Paul.
