I have had the same problem if i tried to install postgresql within an terminal-session on your windows 2000 terminal-server.

Today (after a reboot) i tried it again from the console terminal, and guess what, it worked !!

Now i cant recheck, but maybe this failure happens only if you are connected through an terminal-session with your server !?!?

Ciao,
Mario
