Thanks that was it.
Had installed an AVR programming environment that used cygwin.
C:\WinAVR\bin;C:\WinAVR\utils\bin;
Note that I wasable to re-install version 8.0.4 of postgres without
having to remove the references to WinAVR from the environment
variables.
thanks again

See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_windows.html, question 3.1.
Your problem is most likely with a broken DLL file in the system path,
usually from cygwin.

Subject: [GENERAL] Windows installer fails for 8.1
I have installed successfully on one machine. Removed 8.0 and
then installed 8.1 ok
However the second machine fails.
Asks for the language and then halts.
If I kill process in task manager then installation resumes
but then fails completely with a "Chinese" user name.
Computer is laptop with locale = Australia and language = English.
Have included the last bit of the install log.
Note : have also just installed/removed pgAdmin and open
office and they were ok.
thanks as always.
