Thanks for the suggestion.
Maybe i should rephrase my question :
How does the Postgres (8.3) Installer manage to run initdb (when the installation is not installed as a service).
When installing Postgres from the command line (the 'silent' install), initdb can only be run if installing as a service, but I don't require the service, so have to run initdb after the installation, but cannot do this with Admistrative privileges.
Does the installer temporarily revoke these privileges in order to run initdb, and if so, how is this done?

Please shout about it, don't hide it. And look at stackbuilder.
