The error you get indicates that your windows installation is broken. At
that point it tries to execute "msiexec" which is a part of windows
installer and a core piece of windows that's not working. You need to
make sure that it works properly before you can install PostgreSQL.

Unless I'm misreading it errors when the Next Button is clicked on the language dialog, which means msiexec has already run once.
Siva; did you extract both msi files from the zip file before running the installer?

Yes, but it was not necessarily launched as "msiexec". If the file was
just double-clicked on, the path to msiexec will be fetched from the
registry and not the system PATH. That's the only explanation I can find.

That gives a different error message - it starts msiexec and then
msiexec is the one that complains. This error indicates that it can't
even find msiexec.exe to run.

Not being installed on Windows 2000 is possible iirc - but breaking the
path and/or renaming the .exe (and then updating the registry to match)
seems like some really contrived breakage!!

So it does. I'm sure I've seen that one before though; can't remember
where...
