Here I found an installation issue:
- I was installing pg 8.1 on a Windows 2000 box.
- I chose a different folder than default (D:\PGSERVER did not exist yet)
- When installing, the setup complained about not being able to write into
the directory
- I check the directory permissions and saw that the "Everyone" group does
not have "Modify" permissions
- After setting the "Modify" permission, the setup continued and finished
okay.
