Note the following:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/vi /usr/bin/postmaster
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Administ Domain U 23 Aug 5 09:36 /usr/bin/postmaster -> postgres.exe
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Administ Domain U 18 Sep 17 08:26 /usr/bin/vi -> vim.exe
Hence, both vi and postmaster are symlinks. It appears that symlinks
are not working on this particular machine. Fix this problem and
PostgreSQL should be OK. Sorry that I can't be any more helpful.
