Hi,

When I see the error I suppose that the kind of the problem is space in
the path: "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin". Then I use another
program path without space and the installation is successful. I mean
the regular installation, not patched.


Regards,
Miro.

       I can not start that command because:

 C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin>initdb -D ../data
 The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not found in the
 same directory as "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin/initdb".
 Check your installation.

 In the same time there are 2 files with that name:
 C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin>dir postgres.*
  Volume in drive C is ACER
  Volume Serial Number is 7C12-D67C

  Directory of C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin

Thats the bug fixed in my recent patch that I mentioned. Use a user
account other than Administrator and it should work.
