Installation under WinXP

Hi,

I was trying to install pgsql today but unfortunately the installer just
dies away after selecting the installation language. I searched for the
first error occuring in the log file but I couldn't find anything matching
my problem in the archives. Below ist the logfile content.

Thanks for the help, regards,

Benjamin
