  I assume this happens before you are presented with even the first dialog box?
  Please try running the installer with logging enabled:
  msiexec /l* c:\pginstlog.txt /i c:\where\ever\postgresql-8.0.0-beta4.msi

  That should produce a logfile that will hopefully point you in the direction of what's wrong

    I've been able to install version 8.0.0 beta 4 on two machines but the third one fails. The Windows Installer starts but after a few seconds the installer widow disappears.

    I'm using Win2K with all current service packs.

    Any ideas on what is wrong or how I can make this work?

    TIA.
