R: Postgres 8.3-dev

Thanks for the suggestions,

the directory is removed automatically by the installer, and I looked in the
registry for any PostgreSQL 8.3 related key with no success, there are lot
of keys from previous versions but no one about 8.3-dev. on the VMware XP
Home clean machine there is nothing but the OS installed. I’ll keep trying
!!

Thanks anyway,

Paolo
