Hi,
 
I am not an expert in PG, still i can help u to some extend as i have successfully deployed pg8.1.1 using both installer and no installer on Win XP,2K,2003.
 
To solve your issue
1. cretae a user on your local system.
2. Use runas to run pg_ctl using the user created
Eg batch file:
@echo off
chdir c:\WINDOWS\system32
runas /user:SYSNAME\postgres "<path>\pgsql\bin\pg_ctl.exe start -D ""<path>\pgsql\data" -l ""<path>\pgsql\pg_log.txt"" | "<path>\sanur pwd
pause
 
In the above eg sanur is a utility used myself for piping the pwd into runas as it will ask externally. You can download it from http://www.commandline.co.uk/sanur_unsupported/index.html
 
Also go through the Following FAQ link f or ur further queries
 
Also u have to copy libpq.dll either in %system32% or in PG bin folder.

The server must be started under an unprivileged user ID to prevent
possible system security compromises.  See the documentation for
more information on how to properly start the server.
