When you install, un-check the initdb option on the initdb page of the
wizard. Then, initialise the cluster after installation by running a
command like:
initdb -D ../data
from the PostgreSQL command prompt window (there's a shortcut on the
start menu). See
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/app-initdb.html for
more info on the initdb options.
Once that's done you should register PostgreSQL as a service - see the
'register' mode of pg_ctl:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/app-pg-ctl.html
Those steps are roughly what the installer normally does for you.
