Re: BUG #2365: can't install

Hi guys,

I am attempting to install pgsql, and tried donloading the Win XP
installers for both 8.1.4 and 8.0.8. I am getting the indentical
problem described below, for both cases. I tried to search archives for
possible fixes or workarounds for this, but have not found anything. Is
this problem still unresolved? Any ideas how I can workaround this
installation problem?

Plus, how do I delete the DOMAIN/postgres user on the XP system? I do
not see this user listed when I do Control Panel/User Accounts (i am
not a windows guy, so please excuse my windows ignorance)? Should I try
to install from sources, or will that not make any difference?

Thanks for any help and pointers...

Logged by:          Rick Craft
Email address:      rickcraft ( at ) usa ( dot ) net
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.3
Operating system:   Windows XP Professional
Description:        Installation Error
Details:

Whenever I select a Service Username, I get a message that
localhost\username does not exist, do I want to create an account.  When
answering YES, a password is automatically generated, and the
installation
continues.  After installing all of the DLL's and modules, it says that
the
username that I created at the beginning already exists and then it
does a
rollback.  this happens no matter what username I try to create as the
Service username.
