"You should probably send those logs to the list, rather than straight to me.
However, this line sticks out at me:
2008-04-07 07:43:14 GMT FATAL: lock file "postmaster.pid" already exists
2008-04-07 07:43:14 GMT HINT: Is another postmaster (PID 3724) running
in data directory "F:/B"?
Is it possible that the old server wasn't shut down cleanly on remove?
Is there really a postmaster.pid file present?

Hi,
Crais, sorry to bother you directly !
The previous server was shut down (killed 6 postgres.exe processes) and then removed completely,
both directories basedir & datadir are empty when starting the install.
And yes, there is a postmaster.pid file created during install.
It might not be important, but 'usually' there are 4 postgres.exe processes showing up.
Here there are 6 .. it might look like the server is trying to be started up twice ...
-also regardig the error in the application log about the lock file...
thus, here the log files:
the system event log shows the following:
