Yes, it is planned, but will take some major overhauling of the
installer. I haven't tried Longhorn, but I imagine it'll have the same
PITA excuses for security as Vista does.
In the meantime, you can temporarily disable UAC (User Account Control)
to install PostgreSQL. Once installed, it can be re-enabled. There's an
option in the Users control panel applet to do this iirc.
