I've done it, it's not to difficult. In fact, if you check the
archives you might find a tutorial. The hard part in windows is
launching a cmd process to initdb the database since it can't run as
administrator. I had to use a program called 'sanur' to allow me to
feed the password to runas.
Also check out ntrights.exe to grant logon as service right and the
'net' command to add a user.
Have you looked at silent mode install with standard installer?
