Hi Harald,

>I guess your service is not running after rebooting? You can check this via services.msc

This is what is confusing me - the service IS running after rebooting, but does not appear to be listening on port 5435.  If I simply restart the service in the Administrative Tools > Component Services section everything is fine.

>>During the installation process, when it came time to run initdb, the installer would stop with the error message:

When I tried to (before clicking OK), there was no initdb.log file - or any other file - in the 'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\tmp\ directory.

I'll give this a try and see what happens.
