Problem with installing PostgreSQL, error message appears

Postby TheCleaner77 » Sun Jun 01, 2008 1:54 pm

Hi guys,
I just can´t figure it out to install PostgreSQL, it really goes on my nervs now....

I downloaded version 8.3.1-1 and tried to install it but when I´m through the pre-installation steps and then the installation is running and error message appears when "creating user account" which says: "Internal account lookup failure: ...."
Then installation stops and rolls back the actions...

Hope you can help me.
Thanks in advanced,
Sam

Are you running as an administrator? Are you on Vista?

If you right click on the installer and click "Run as Administrator" it will run it as administrator.
