Windows installer bugs (was: [BUGS] BUG #2374: Installation Error)

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 2374
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.

-bugs is getting inundated with windows installer bugs, and people on
the list don't seem to be replying to them. Can someone with the
installer project add more prominent information about where users
should be reporting installer bugs to? (I'm guessing that the
installer has a bug tracker, but I'm not online right now to check...)
