I assume you are trying to install PostreSQL 8.3.7 from the MSI installer or
the OneClickInstaller on Windows. As Vista, Server 2003, Server 2008,
Windows XP and Windows 7 differ quite intensly on the relevant security
details, you should provide more information.

"1.8.4" is the version of pgadmin 3, a PostgreSQL administration tool
bundled within the PostgreSQL windows installers.

here is an error while I install it to my PC. the installer cannot create
> folder and file "...\data\postgresql.conf"

That suggests:

a) either the user running the installer does not have enough privileges to
create that folder

b) that folder would be a subfolder of another folder with charcters in its
name that are not considered valid. Non-ASCII PathNames are possible
candidates.

to rule out b): try to install into a "simple" folder like c:/andri

to check a): what are the permissions on that directory for the user running

To get more detailed feedback, please do provide:

a) exact Windows Version you are using, incl. language-Version
b) exact PostgreSQL installer you are using (for example provide download
URL, as there are 2 available installers

best wishes,
