What to do? Try deleting the postgres user account. See the mailing list archives for details on how to do this with the "net user" command if you are running XP Home. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
You'll probably get better help from the windows installer folks (there should be a mailing list somewhere on pgFoundry)... Have you tried removing the postgres account? That would probably at least get you running. The names and IDs thing sounds like a bug, but you'd have to talk to the installer folks about that... Perhaps the installer should do a better job of pointing people at where to report install bugs...

Hi guys, I am attempting to install pgsql, and tried donloading the Win XP installers for both 8.1.4 and 8.0.8. I am getting the indentical problem described below, for both cases. I tried to search archives for possible fixes or workarounds for this, but have not found anything. Is this problem still unresolved? Any ideas how I can workaround this installation problem? Plus, how do I delete the DOMAIN/postgres user on the XP system? I do not see this user listed when I do Control Panel/User Accounts (i am not a windows guy, so please excuse my windows ignorance)? Should I try to install from sources, or will that not make any difference? Thanks for any help and pointers...

When answering YES, a password is automatically generated, and the installation continues. After installing all of the DLL's and modules, it says that the username that I created at the beginning already exists and then it does a rollback. this happens no matter what username I try to create as the Service username.

Should I try to > install from sources, or will that not make any difference? the *full* user manager is in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Local Users and Groups... If you have the "category" view enabled in your Control Panel (the default), Administrative Tools is under "Performance and Maintenance".
