I know I'm going to go on some people's nerves, but it's necessary. With the current "run-as-non-admin" restriction the windows installer doesn't work, and it will probably be ridiculously difficult to make it work unless this restriction is redesigned. I don't see any point in restricting postgres.exe (i.e. the single user non-communicating version) to non-superusers. Installations are usually executed with admin privileges (non-admins won't be able to create services), and currently it fails to initialize the cluster with that d***d message. Consequently, it rolls back the complete installation leaving me at point zero. If I was an average win32 user testing pgsql, this would be the end of my attempt to install it.
