Remote install of Postgres 8.1.3 using Windows installer binary package is
not working (says that console mode is required) even when RDP client is
started with
mstsc /console
switch.
However, using installer package, creating cluster and server process
manually works OK from RDP client!
Any idea why Postgres installer requires physical access to server to
install Postgres ?

There's always VNC: http://www.realvnc.com/ That way Windows won't know
you're not sitting in front of it, and if you've got to access it from
across the country on a linux or BSD or MAC box, it still works.

VNC requires additional port to be opened.
I have no free opened ports in W2K server. Also In my XP client, all
incoming ports are closed.
