Thread: Invalid username specified: A required privlege is not held by the client

I am trying to install version 8.3 on windows 2000.  I created a Local account named "postgres" and granted it "Log on as a service" and "Log on locally" rights as described here
http://pginstaller.projects.postgresql.org/faq/FAQ_windows.html#3.3

But when I get to the "Install as Service" and enter the "Account Name" the installer keeps returning the error message:   "Invalid username specified: A required privlege is not held by the client". 

What does this mean?

"jimmy Zhang"
Date:
VTD-XML 2.3 is now released. To download the latest version please visit
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=110612&package_id=120172.

Below is a list of new features and enhancements in this version.

  a.. VTDException is now introduced as the root class for all other
VTD-XML's exception classes (per suggestion of Max Rahder).
  b.. Transcoding capability is now added for inter-document cut and paste.
You can cut a chuck of bytes in a UTF-8 encoded document and paste it into a
UTF-16 encoded document and the output document is still well-formed.
  c.. ISO-8859-10, ISO-8859-11, ISO-8859-12, ISO-8859-13, ISO-8859-14 and
ISO-8859-15 support has now been added
  d.. Zero length Text node is now possible.
  e.. Ability to dump in-memory copy of text is added.
  f.. Various code cleanup, enhancement and bug fixes.

Below are some new articles related to VTD-XML

  a.. Index XML documents with VTD-XML
http://xml.sys-con.com/read/453082.htm
  b.. Manipulate XML content the Ximple Way
http://www.devx.com/xml/Article/36379
  c.. VTD-XML: A new vision of XML
http://www.developer.com/xml/article.php/3714051
  d.. VTD-XML: XML Processing for the future
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/vtd-xml_examples.aspx

If you (or someone you know) like the concept of VTD-XML, think that it can
help solve enterprises' XML processing related issues (particularly those
related to SOA), and would like to directly influence and contribute to the
development of the future of Internet, please email me
crackeur@comcast.net). We are looking for open source software developers
and project management people to take VTD-XML to the next level.
Anyone have any ideas, or is there another list for install questions?

Thanks to some assistance from another forum, I was finally able to install version 8.2, using the filemon.exe utitlity to track down file permission problems. Version 8.3 never did install. Here are the changes I made. Disclaimer, I tried a lot of different things, so it may not be everything.

Installers:

1. Created windows user name: postgres

2. Under Local security policy > granted user rights assignment:
- Log on as service
- Log on locally


3. Granted "postgres" account
- Read & Execute permission
- Read permission

On the following files:
=======================================
C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe
C:\WINNT\system32\WSOCK32.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\WS2_32.DLL
C:\WINNT\system32\WS2HELP.DLL
