There is a known issue with installations on Domain Controllers. See
pgfoundry tracker item at
http://pgfoundry.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1000096&group_id=
1000007&atid=126.
You can get through part of it by specifying DOMAIN\username, but there
may be further issues down the road from there.
If this doesn't work, you can install it *without* installing as a
service. Then create the account and register it manually using "pg_ctl
register". The issue is only in the installer, not in postgresql itself.
