for sure the installer should not be a complete configuration  tool - that 
would be a different beast (and it looks like pgAdmin will go there). But 
server logging is *vital*, as it's the only means to tell you what went 
wrong, and allows you to investigate. This will bite many new users, as 
they're used look at the eventlog. 
Thus my suggestion.

Greetings,
 Jörg
