Hi guys,
I am attempting to install pgsql, and tried donloading the Win XP
installers for both 8.1.4 and 8.0.8. I am getting the indentical
problem described below, for both cases. I tried to search archives for
possible fixes or workarounds for this, but have not found anything. Is
this problem still unresolved? Any ideas how I can workaround this
installation problem?
Plus, how do I delete the DOMAIN/postgres user on the XP system? I do
not see this user listed when I do Control Panel/User Accounts (i am
not a windows guy, so please excuse my windows ignorance)? Should I try
to install from sources, or will that not make any difference?
Thanks for any help and pointers...
Mario Ruggier

The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 2374
Logged by: Rick Craft
Email address: rickcraft ( at ) usa ( dot ) net
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.3
Operating system: Windows XP Professional
Description: Installation Error
Details:
Whenever I select a Service Username, I get a message that
localhost\username does not exist, do I want to create an account. When
answering YES, a password is automatically generated, and the
installation
continues. After installing all of the DLL's and modules, it says that
the
username that I created at the beginning already exists and then it
does a
rollback. this happens no matter what username I try to create as the
Service username.

the *full* user manager is in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools ->
Computer Management -> Local Users and Groups...
If you have the "category" view enabled in your Control Panel (the
default), Administrative Tools is under "Performance and Maintenance".
