Wow, that's a very old point release. You should be installing 9.0.9,
the latest point release in the series. It's binary compatible with
9.0.x databases and is a drop-in replacement.

Your subject line was very uninformative, so if you got no responses
that's probably why. It tells nobody anything about your question.

Check the PostgreSQL error logs in the `pg_log` directory. Also check
the windows Event Viewer for messages relating to the PostgreSQL service.

At a guess, you failed to set the permissions on the data directory to
allow the "postgres" user full control or failed to apply them recursively.
