Raymond,
I do not see an opportunity to request a log to be written. From the
Psotgre site, I downloaded:
postgresql-8.3.7-1-windows.exe
There isn't an entry in the Control Panel to remove PostgreSQL. When
I rerun the installation, it detects that there is an existing one and
says it will update. Then it asked what I want to do with some of the
conflicts (which I said "Ignore").
