upgrade to windows2003. installing pgsql in a w2k3 console session just 
fine.

use "pg_ctl.exe register"  to setup your system service when using zip 
instead of installer. you can also use pg_ctl to run pgsql from a command 
prompt. as you obviously "know what you're doing", i assume you've checked 
the howto for pgsql on windows, read pgsql's setup-section and already ran 
initdb... ;-)
