GetAvailableLocales aborting installation

Hi,

I had PostgreSQL 8.0.0-beta5 on my Windows Xp home laptop. It installed and ran fine.
After downloading v 8.0.2. I tried to run the upgrade.bat script, but it choked and told me to run the main msi file. I then assumed the upgrade wouldn't work and uninstalled the beta just in case.

After running the postgresql-8.0.msi file the installation crashes. The attached logfile indicates a problem with GetAvailableLocales or MSIHANDLE. My computer has AVG Antivirus and ZA Firewall, but both are shutdown prior to installation.

I read the Win-FAQ and searched the mailinglists. The FAQ says it might be necessary to uninstall my antivirus/firewall software, but I won't do that.
Would appreciate hints to get around this, thanks.
