I have been successful in installing to Windows 2000 but when installing the
binary installation "postgresql-8.2.msi" as a service, I receive the error
The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not found in the
same directory as "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.2/bin/initdb".
Check your installation.
I have checked and found both the postgres.exe and initdb.exe files in the
directory "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.2/bin/initdb".
Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?

Try to run initdb under non-privileged user. You can use
runas /user:username "initdb -D ..."
