PostgreSQL version: 8.3.3
Operating system: Windows XP
Description: Cannot even install product
Details:
After deciding to install Postgre SQL instead of MySQL, I downloaded the
installer for version 8.3.3 and after selecting all the options and getting
to the final step in the install where the files are being copied, I get a
message at the end that it cannot create the user account and it rolls back
everything! Now I am trying MySQL.
