Subject: [GENERAL] Upgrade Postgres 8.1.2 to 8.1.4

 In Windows XP Pro (SP2) I tried to upgrade PostgreSQL server from 8.1.2 to
8.1.4., by using upgrade.bat.
Everything goes nice until end of installation when the following error
apears:  "Service 'PostgreSQL Database Server 8.1' (pgsql-8.1) could not be
installed. Verify that you have sufficient priviliges to install system
services" .
I am logged as administrator, Windows XP Pro SP2.
What should I do?

Is PostgreSQL the ONLY thing that got changed?  It sounds like you
simply don't have administrative privileges on this system.

You should be logged in as an administrator...

No, nothing changed.
I am the only user of this computer (personal computer). It is the same
account I was using for installing PostgreSQL server.
In fact I had the same problem with upgrading from PostgreSQL 8.0 to 8.1,
then from 8.1 to 8.2...In all theses cases I had to uninstall old version
first and then install new version of the server. I don't want to uninstall
the server this time....

You should be logged in as an administrator...

Man, sorry, you've exhausted all of my windows expertise.  I'm a unix
guy.  I'd suspect some kind of problem with ownership of the files or
something like that.
