Hi Craig,
I have a call with EDB folks in an hour. I will post when I have something concrete. Meanwhile, if you need anything specific about the system, please let me know.
I have Vista Business x64 with Microsoft Security Essentials and UAC turned ON. I have tried (at least) the following:
- Default install of PG 8.4
- Install of PG 8.4 in C:\Postgresql
- Disable MS Security Essentials for C:\Postgresql and reinstall
- Create a regular (non-admin) posgres user before installation
- Delete that user and redo installation
- Disable UAC and install in C:\Postgresql as well as in the default directory
- Enabled the "Administrator" user in Vista, logged in as that user and installed
If you want me to try anything else, I can do that too.
Thanks,
Nikhil

Nikhil,
Any movement on collecting some system comparision information so we can
start to figure out why the installer works on my systems, but not on yours?
I've just tested on a couple of other Vista systems (at work) without
problems, so there must be something different about your systems and
those of the others you've seen complain on the EDB forums. It'd be good
to find out what it is.
