Thank you all for your answers!.
This solve one of my problems :) THANKS!!!
John, thats a very good question. I've already thought about that, but I've no idea how to act yet. Becuase, as you said, if there is already a posgre Database server installed in the target system, and I dont know the password, what can i do? I can not delete the existing user account because I would be affecting other software. What about if I create another service user account, with a different name, such as MyPostgreUserAccount? That way I ensure that I'm creating/deleting the Postgre User of my application. What do you think?
Thanks in advance!!

If I do un-install the service account is not removed, so next time I try to install the software again the service account name (posgres) exists so It can not be created again, so the installation progress stops, rolling back.
Do you know how can I remove posgres service account while un-installing? or maybe Do you know how to chek if the postgres user exist while installing, so therefore the installation process could create or login with that user?
or some sort of WSH WMI magic....
the problem with reusing an existing service account, you don't know its password
silly question, what will your installer do if there is a preexisting Postgres install on the target system?
