pg_autovacuum fails to start - 8.0 Release

I am trying to install pg_autovacuum as a win32 service.

pg_autovacuum -I -N ourdomain\postgres -W secretpassword -E pgsql-8.0 -d 4
-L c:\ghum\data\pg_log\autovacuum.log -U postgres -P moresecretpasswords

when trying to start:

C:\Programme\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin>sc start pg_autovacuum
[SC] StartService FAILED 1075:

Der Abhõngigkeitsdienst ist nicht vorhanden oder wurde zum L÷schen markiert.

(english: 1075 The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for
deletion.  ERROR_SERVICE_DEPENDENCY_DELETED)

if I check dependencies...

C:\Programme\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin>sc query pg_autovacuum

I learn that pgsql-8.0 sees pg_autovacuum as a dependand service, but
pg_autovacuum does not see itself as debendand.

If I look within services.msc, pg_autovacuum really has Postgresql as
service it is dependend on.

(and, yes pgsql-8.0 is reallly present AND running)

what can I do to make it work?
