Hi,<br>
<br>
When I see the error I suppose that the kind of the problem is space in
the path: "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin". Then I use another
program path without space and the installation is successful. I mean
the regular installation, not patched.<br>

For the current case is used user "miro" with administrator rights. You
suggest me to remove administrator rights?<br>

The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not found in the
same directory as "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin/initdb".
Check your installation.

In the same time there are 2 files with that name:
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin&gt;dir postgres.*
Volume in drive C is ACER
Volume Serial Number is 7C12-D67C

Thats the bug fixed in my recent patch that I mentioned. Use a user
account other than Administrator and it should work.
