Ok now I somehow managed to get it installed.

Next problem...it's getting stupid.

I can't start the service. Following entries are in the logfile:

Thanks for the link.

I figured out that MSHELPER.DLL was missing.

I did a complete new installation of Win 7 Pro 64bit.....
still not able to install PostgreSql......very frustrating

It's finally up and running. I didn't do anything after the first attempt installing it on the fresh win 7 installation. I just tried a second time and it went through.
