Test platform = Win 2000 plus all service packs, hotfixes.
No previous PostgreSQL ever installed on the machine before.

8.0.0 beta 5 installation executable from
http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller

Installed NOT AS A SERVICE, repeat NOT as a WinNT/2K service.
Told installer to put installation in

C:\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta5\*

but almost everything went instead to

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta5\*

The installer script seems "hard wired" to
use "Program Files" folder. This is a bug.

The only files that were put into the specified
folder were

C:\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta5\bin\ecpg.exe
C:\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta5\include\*.h (C header files)
C:\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta5\lib\(*.dll | *.a) (dev stuff)

While everything else went into

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta5\*
