Hello pgsql-bugs,

I have not been able to install postgresql on any windows box I have
here. i always get the same error: "Failed to create process for
initdb: 1385!". No matter if it is XP Pro, W2K.

i would expect a beta to at least instll correctly.

First of all, please download the latest beta. beta-1 is lacking a whole
lot of things.

Second, this problem is because you ened to grant the postgresql service
account "Log on locally", "Access this computer from the network" and
"Log on as a service". The current released betas of the installer only
checks for the service right. This is fixed in latest cvs, and we expect
to put out a new version of the installer in a couple of days.
