try ...
createuser -h xxx.xxx.x.x -S -d -R svc

by default, its connecting to localhost (127.0.0.1) rather than your IP.

(note this behavior is different than on Unix/Linux type systems, where
by default it connects to a 'unix domain socket', which doesn't exist on
MS Windows).

If you only want to connect to this database from the same computer, I'd
suggest using 127.0.0.1/localhost rather than xxx.xxx.x.x in both the
listen_address and pg_hba...
