Try searching the archives, there have been recent posts demonstrating
various approaches to running postmaster as a service. May be one of
these will work well enough for you.

By default, postmaster is a symlink to postgres.exe. So unless you did
something to workaround this, NT will not be able to start postmaster since
it does not grok symlinks. The simplest solution to this issue is to
delete the symlink and copy postgres.exe to postmaster.exe.
