Installing postgreSQL

Hi,
I'm trying to install PostgreSQL 8.2.5 on a WIN XP computor.
I have removed the path to cygwin, but It will still not be installed.

The error I'm getting is:

Your local 'Administrators' group contains 'Interactive users'
This is a common configuration error that causes sequrity issues.For this reason, Postgre

and here the error print out is cut.

I have no idea what this means, and I have not found any information about this error.

Is ther anyone who please can inform me how to install PostgreSQL?

Thanks in advance
/Palle

Postgresql won't run under an administrative account for security reasons.

You can install it under one, but the account you tell it to run under
must NOT have administrator privaleges
