Try deleting the postgres user account. See the mailing list archives
for details on how to do this with the "net user" command if you are
running XP Home.

You'll probably get better help from the windows installer folks
(there should be a mailing list somewhere on pgFoundry)... Have you
tried removing the postgres account? That would probably at least get
you running. The names and IDs thing sounds like a bug, but you'd
have to talk to the installer folks about that...

Perhaps the installer should do a better job of pointing people at
where to report install bugs...

Hi guys,

I am attempting to install pgsql, and tried donloading the Win XP
installers for both 8.1.4 and 8.0.8. I am getting the indentical
problem described below, for both cases. I tried to search archives for
possible fixes or workarounds for this, but have not found anything. Is
this problem still unresolved? Any ideas how I can workaround this
installation problem?

Plus, how do I delete the DOMAIN/postgres user on the XP system? I do
not see this user listed when I do Control Panel/User Accounts (i am
not a windows guy, so please excuse my windows ignorance)? Should I try
to install from sources, or will that not make any difference?

Thanks for any help and pointers...

Mario Ruggier

PostgreSQL version: 8.1.3
Operating system:   Windows XP Professional
Description:        Installation Error
Details:

Whenever I select a Service Username, I get a message that
localhost\username does not exist, do I want to create an account.  When
answering YES, a password is automatically generated, and the
installation
continues.  After installing all of the DLL's and modules, it says that
the
username that I created at the beginning already exists and then it
does a
rollback.  this happens no matter what username I try to create as the
Service username.

the *full* user manager is in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools ->
Computer Management -> Local Users and Groups...

If you have the "category" view enabled in your Control Panel (the
default), Administrative Tools is under "Performance and Maintenance".
