Postgres install on windows 2003 server

From
"Adodo, Adewale"
Date:
 I am having problems installing PostgresSQL 8.0.0 on our windows 2003
server. I downloaded the postgresql-8.0.1.zip  installer from
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/win32/ but each time I try to install it I get
a "Error binding test network socket: 10013" error message. This always
happens at the point where the installer brings up the initialise database
cluster window dialogue.
I checked on the Microsoft website to find out what the error code meant and
it said "Permission denied.
An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access
permissions."
I get this error no matter who am logged in as or how.
Any help you can offer will be highly appreciated
Thanks

It could be a firewall problem. Did you try to disable it?

I'd put my bet down on a host based firewall, antivirus or similar
software that's not permitting the opening of network server sockets.
You will need to disable that protection and/or uninstall the software
that's preventing it.
