When I tried to install pg8.2 on Win2k3 service pack 2 using the
installer I received the error message window

Unable to connect to the test network socket : 100013

If I changed the port from the default '5432' to 5433 works fine.

- any suggestions ?
Google showed me an email regarding this message in 8.1, but there was
no resolution.

Sounds like you already have something listening on 5432. Perhaps
another verison of PostgreSQL already installed?

Thats what I thought, but a port scan tells me that the port is closed.

Try using the `netstat' command (or one of the numerous GUI
wrappers/replacements) to look at your open port list instead. That'll
show you what the OS thinks is in use.
