The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 3746
Logged by: Mike
Email address: michael(dot)wutzke(at)emporis(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 8.2
Operating system: Win2003/WinXP
Description: installation fails
Details:

I tried to install PostgreSQL two times on different systems.

You will not be able to promote your software if the install fails.
Conclusion: The installation process is too complicated!

I talked with a colleague about it and he says he experienced the same
problems. You will not be able to expand your user base if you do not
eliminate these problems!!!

Error: The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not found in the
same directory as "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.2/bin/initdb". Check your
installation.

>>> I just clicked "OK" for every option.
