What is the problem? I have run the binary on XP 64 without problems,
though not from the MSI installer. It certainly *works*.

There are no firm plans for a Win64 version, but we'll get there
eventually ;-) We are doing some of the work needed to get there, such
as updating the build system for Visual C++ 2005, on the way to 8.3, but
it's impossible to say when we'll have an actual 64-bit version.

Again, what exactly does it show you? I doubt this is because of 64-bit
windows, but it's not impossible thatis.

When you say you created a postgres admin account, I assume you mean a
*non*-admin account? Postgres is supposed to have a non-admin account to
run from.
