   It has been pointed out to me by a member of the PostgreSQL core development team that one point in the paper is out of date.  As of PostgreSQL 8.2, PostgreSQL can run under an administrative account on Windows.  It then drops priveleges in order to run in a safe and secure manner.  This is a new change and I appear to have missed it in my review of  the new version.

   I have a problem with PostgreSQL 8.2 installation.I installed it successfully but was having login problems so I uninstalled it and tried to re-install but I've been having problems.

   Anytime I try to re-install, when I get to the Service Configuration Window, I get the message "Invalid username specified:Logon faliure:unknown user name or bad password"

   When I first installed it, I usually get a message telling me that an account will be created for me and that a password can be created if the one I entered was considered weak, but not this time.

   Being stuck to this Window makes it impossible for me to complete PostgreSQL Installation and I would greatly appreciate any help on this.

   Hi Learner;

   I would suggest that this could have a number of causes I can think of.  Maybe the username was not created?  Maybe the password as entered was wrong?  You should be able to use the management console to change the password of the affected account and see if that fixes it.

   A few other things to check, the username must have the right to run as a network service, and must have the right to login locally.  Check your OS's documentation about adjusting such policies.

   Finally, if you are on a company network, the password must conform to any policy requirements of the domain.

   My suggestion is to create the account and watch for error messages.  Hopefully that will help provide hints as to what is the matter.

   Best Wishes,

   Chris Travers

    Actually I tried reinstalling again and this time when I finish set up , installation end prematurely saying user postgres already exists and cannot be created or so.

    Is there a remedy to this?
