Windows XP pro. I went to the postgres web site, downloads, clicked
on the binary package and selected windows. It gave me a file called
Postgresql-8.3.7-1-windows.exe
When I run that I hit next for the postgres directory, then after
hitting next for the data directory I get the error. I kept all
defaults for directories because I want to keep my existing data etc.
