Description: Internal account lookup failure:
Details:

I had not installed PostGreSQL on this computer before. When I use the
installer, it gives the foll. message and rolls back the installation.

"Internal account lookup failure: No mapping between account names and
security IDs was done."

Tried with other user names etc. but cannot proceed.

No idea --- that isn't our error message.

Well, it is from pginstaller. It usually means that the SAM somehow lost
sync. This can happen in a domain environment, haven't seen it anywhere
else. It usually works if you just restart the installation process
having created the user account manually first.

After struggling with this same problem for too long, I discovered that
omitting the SERVICEDOMAIN value and letting the installer set it via
default did the trick.

Hope this helps someone else.
