PostgreSQL Installation Question
I am trying to create an installer that will run PostgreSQL as a service
onto a Windows machine( 2000 or Server 2003).
The problem that I am having is that I need to have the database be
initialized by a restricted windows user. However, I do not want to demand
that the user log out and then log back in again as this restricted user.
Also, I am unable to utilize the 'runas' functionality from an installer due
to the inability to pipe it a password. Finally, I attempted using the
SU.exe functionality presented by the Windows Resource Tool Kit but found
out that it required too much alteration to the user group permissions which
I would not be able to accomplish from my installer.
Are there any suggestions for solving this problem? Any response is much
appreciated.

You might want to look at the source for the current
8.0 beta installer at http://pgfoundry.org/ for
inspiration.
