check here for som einstyructions how to install pgsql

it sounds like you don't have permission to access the
install directory.

on winxp pro, i think you can just right click on the
directory in question and adjust the permissions.  on
winxp home, i think you have to restart, go into safe
mode and log in as administrator.  then i think you
can right click and adjust permissions.

your path is probably something similar to:

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\data\

make sure your admin user has rights to all the
directories.  you might want to delete the directory,
if it exists, and try again.

good luck.
