PostgreSQL version: 8.2
Operating system: windows vista

Have tried to install the programme via the executable intilation file has
ran installation correctly up untill the point where it reads an error "user

Even if the name is changed this error will still come up but with the new
name replacing the "postgres" section of the error message. Can you please

Windows Vista support is available from 8.3 and on. For 8.2, you will have
to install without doing initdb, and do that part manually. You can also
chcek out EnterpriseDB Postgres (their community distribution, not
"advanced server") which has Vista fixes for the installer backported.

Uh, why has the the 8.2.X Win32 release not been repackaged to support
Vista?
