Unable to install PostgreSQL 8.3

[Kroisos]

PostgreSQL fails to install "starting services" every time. I am asked to make sure that I have the rights to change the starting systems. Using Windows XP I am the only user on my domaine so I am administrator as well and of course have any rights to change settings. The problem is the same, wether I use the default user "postgre" or my own unser name or another one. Can you give me some advice?

What happens when you try to follow the steps in this FAQ?

Sorry but I do not see a description of my problem in this FAQ.

I create the user postgre and a password. The program accept this. After that the installation starts by copying the files to my pc. Adjusting the starting system I am reported that postgre fails. I am not able to repair anything and the rollback of the installation starts. Where is the point I can do something?

Unfortunately, I am still trying to figure this out...

For any Windows administrative guru's; how do you ensure that the current user has permissions to start service on Windows XP Home (where there is no Local Security Policy MMA)?

Best regards,
