It should work fine with this switch. I've used it many times.

The problem is in the interaction with the RunAs service. This is being
looked into for the next release.

I ran "mstsc /console" from my XP Proffessional and tried to install
Postgres 8.1.3 in two different
servers:

Windows 2003
Windows 2000

Both cause the following message:

---------------------------
Internal error
---------------------------
The PostgreSQL installer must be run on the system console, not in a
terminal services session.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

What I'm doint wrong ?
