Yes; rebooting seems to take care of it.

Did you try reinstalling PG without rebooting?
On my machine it fails - unless I specify a different service ID.

It took me a couple of installs to figure out that just changing the 
sevice NAME doesn't work, in which case everything runs fine until right 
after cluster creation, when you get an error message saying that the 
service couldn't be installed, followed by rollback.

The solution could be to try and detect any existing services with the 
same ID and refuse to go to the next step if one already exists.
