Thread: postgres user - win32 installer

with pginstaller, when pass the creation of postgres he creates postgres
user.

if in the next step i cancel the installation, if i try to install again
we need to create another user in windows, because when i cancel the
installation the installer don't delete the user that was created in the
previous installation.

i think that  you  must delete postgres user when a installation is
canceled, or at least, ask to.

This is a known issue, and it was determined way too dangerous to go
removing accuonts on uninstall, since they may well be used for other
things.

It might be a good idea to explicitly inform the user about this when
the account is created, though.
