Thanks to some assistance from another forum, I was finally able to install version 8.2, using the filemon.exe utitlity to track down file permission problems. Version 8.3 never did install. Here are the changes I made. Disclaimer, I tried a lot of different things, so it may not be everything.

Anyone have any suggestions?
I have tried different versions and everything I can think of but have run out of ideas. It is frustrating. I really would like to use postgresql.. if I could only get it to install! ;-)
