Matthijs Piek (matthijs(at)sandcat(dot)nl) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
Hardcoded paths in windows install (731a1)

Long Description
Windows installer for Postgresql 7.3.1 Alpha 1 forces install to the resident program files directory (D:\program files\ in my case). All the batchfiles (and possible other files) assume C:\Program files\, effectively rendering your install useless. Not hardcoding the path into the batchfiles etc would fix this bug.
