Help! "Access is Denied" Install Rolled back... WinXP, PostgreSQL 8.0.2

Hi all,

I googled for a solution to my problem and then searched the PostgreSQL
site for solutions and since neither produced an answer I thought I'd
see if anyone else out there knows how to resolve my dilemna... Any
assistance is appreciated! Essentially what happens is that I just
attempt to install PostgreSQL 8.0.2 with the default options and it
nearly completes the installation but then on the step where it
initializes (or whatever it's called) the database it crashes and rolls
back the install. When I check the log file it tells me to check before
it deletes it in the rollback it says repeatedly something about "access
is denied". Below is the actual install log (or a small portion of it,
near the end where the error occurs). Any ideas?

Regards, Abe
