I am installing PostgreSQL 8.4 on a Vista (32bit) machine. UAC is disabled, and I am using an account with admin rights. Everything seems to work fine (including stackbuilder), no error messages whatsoever. But then the database windows-service never gets installed.
It's not that I cannot start the service (which is a problem many people seem to have), but rather, it's not even in my services list.
Obviously, my question would be: Why doesn't that work, and how do I fix it?
