Hi,

for all who may encounter this error message on windows 2008R2 using the one click installer:

DO NOT create a test machine named "Postgres" (the same as the service account user name) and try to install Postgres Server on it after that, cause you will get the above mentioned error message. )))))))))

Cheers
Adel
