for some reason i got it to install and it says username already exists??and then it rolls back and the installation and says a fatal error has occured

sounds like you've got some postgres remants hanging around - i will assume this is a new download and a new db and you don't have any populated data yet - if this is not the case, back your db off with pg_dumpall and keep all your hh's, then:

delete any postgres folders and sub-folders manually; net user postgres delete from a dos command prompt - try and install again...

This should be:
net user postgres /delete
