Anyone have some idea how to do this? I am able to install my Win32
application but the postgeSQL install will not work. Any help or at
least a starting point would be appreciated.

Windows XP Embedded is not a tested or supported platform for
PostgreSQL. I have no idea if it will work or not.

indeed, XP Embedded (or whatever its called now, Windows Embedded 2007
or something), should work just fine. its exactly the same kernel and
libraries and everything as regular Windows XP, just packaged
differently, setup so the OEM can build a totally customized platform
with it. A good choice for things like Kiosks, turnkey embedded
systems, etc.

I could swear I've seen cases where xp embedded failed because it was
missing a bunch of security api's. Is it like ce where such things can
be removed by an oem manufacturer?

yeah, eggzackly. every component imaginable is custom configurable.

there's some things it can't support, like active directory domain
membership, but things like user management, dcom, desktop, every single
util, every single service, are customizable.
