I figured that you would have tested it, but still I find the error pretty ackward.
I forgot I have some VM's here myself I can use for testing. There it installed flawlesly. I guess it's a problem on my machine then. My guess that the previous version isn't correctly uninstalled. What I have done is removed the registry entry's referring to PostgreSQL in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI], as well as removing the installed files (dll's and such.) 
If I run the installer on my day2day machine I don't the usual screens with the license agreement, and which parts I want to install, it just starts copying files immediatly. On my VM asked some questions first.
Any Idea what I missed when uninstalling the dev. Snapshot on my day2day machine?

I'm sorry I might have spooked you with this. Maybe an uninstaller is a good option for future releases?

Oops, my bad. I guess I forgot the attachment. I've attached it to this mail.
