Hi,
I think I finally have this narrowed down to a reproducible scenario. Reproducible on my machine, at least. :-)
- If you install with default service ID (pgsql-8.0-beta1) and the service is started when you run uninstall, then it is removed immediately.
- If you install with default service ID (pgsql-8.0-beta1) and the service is stopped, then it is marked as disabled and removed at first reboot.
- If you use a custom service ID, then it is never removed and you have to use a registry editor to delete it manually. 

Regards,
Aleksander

Aleksander,

Sorry to take so long to get back to you.
I was able to re-install postgres without any problems (I had to eliminate the data directory by hand after the uninstall, or it would not initialize the new database). I am running WinXP, SP1. I checked the services before re-installing, and postgres was removed properly. 

Cheers,

JP
