I'm confident that I have administrative rights, but to be sure that that
wasn't the issue, I logged in as the Administrator, and received exactly the

FYI: The "NT Service" userid "postgres" wasn't removed during the rollback,
so future installs failed early until I removed the previous configured user
id.

Nothing additional there, just the same error message.
