My guess is that you are not installing from the console, but are using
terminal services. I don't think you can install from a terminal
services connection. Try installing directly from the console. If you
aren't able to sit in front of the machine, there is a way in win2003+
to allow you to connect directly to the console using remote desktop. I
don't remember what it is. Google should help you there though.

Regards

Russell

Also try a newer Postgres release, per the identical bug report posted
less than a week ago:

I believe this is something that's fixed as of 8.2.

Yes, IIRC that whole codepath has been rewritten. And 8.0 isn't
supported anymore (on windows), so you really sholdn't be installing
that on a new system :P
