BTW - I forgot to mention that the machine is setup to dual boot win Win98 (which is installed on C:) and Win2000 (which is on G:). Does this matter?

I assume this happens before you are presented with even the first dialog box?
Please try running the installer with logging enabled:
msiexec /l* c:\pginstlog.txt /i c:\where\ever\postgresql-8.0.0-beta4.msi
That should produce a logfile that will hopefully point you in the direction of what's wrong

I've been able to install version 8.0.0 beta 4 on two machines but the third one fails. The Windows Installer starts but after a few seconds the installer widow disappears.
I'm using Win2K with all current service packs.
Any ideas on what is wrong or how I can make this work?
TIA.
