Yep, it is the right file. The pertinent bit is this:

---
Ensuring we can write to the data directory (using cacls):
Are you sure (Y/N)?processed dir: C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\data
Access is denied.
----

The command that seems to be failing appears to be:

echo y|cacls "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\data" /T /G "<username>":F

where <username> is your current username as returned by a scripting
object. Can you try running the command in a command prompt please,
and see if it works interactively (using your username)?

Also, please put the following in a file (test.vbs) and run it with:

cscript test.vbs

on the commandline. Don't include the dashes in the file:

-----
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WScript.Echo objNetwork.Username
-----

Thanks.
